The initial submissions we received were all fantastic, and it was a difficult task for the team at Dark Star to narrow it down to the Top 26 entrants.
Join the quest, and show us that you have what it takes to tell the stories our listeners love to hear.
Tackle real-world audiobook narrator challenges to make it to the next round.
But don’t worry – Make it past the first challenge, and we’ll bring in Rock Star mentors to help you with the rest of your challenges!
Win or lose – this experience WILL level your narration game up.
In a world where Artificial Intelligence is replacing so many aspects of the human experience, there is no substitute for a beautiful story performed by a real person.
My name is Troy Duran.
As a fellow narrator and an audiobook producer, nothing makes me happier than finding and casting a great new voice.
My goal with The Next Dark Star is to help aspiring narrators find a place in this amazing world.
