Hi, I'm Dena, and I help non-fiction and memoir authors who want to narrate their own books build confidence and navigate the often confusing world of audiobooks.

I also coach anyone who would like to read and present better at live events.

Weekly for a few years now I have trained with Dena. I’m continually amazed how she’s able to tap into and dig deeper into my vocal abilities. The breadth of Dena’s skills extend from vocal direction, cadence, to emotion, and especially how to deep dive into script analysis.

Dena is a genius when it comes to audiobook narration. When I started recording my book, I knew I wanted it to feel natural—like someone sitting across from me, having coffee, and engaging in a real conversation. Making that happen turned out to be a lot harder than I expected.

Dena listened to the early chapters and immediately pinpointed exactly what I needed to adjust—read the sentence in full, deliver lists as a paragraph—small but powerful details that made a huge difference. Thanks to her guidance, I was able to deliver the whole book with so much more confidence. Every single tip had a noticeable impact.

Her feedback was constructive, insightful, and, most importantly, actionable. I walked away knowing exactly what to tweak, and the final product was miles better because of it.

If you're an author recording your own audiobook, work with Dena. You have to. She knows her stuff and makes the whole process so much easier, smoother, and way more enjoyable.

Thank you, Dena!
