Hi, I'm Barry Howard. (Here's where I tell you a secret. Barry Howard is a stage
name. My full name is Barry Howard Groves. Now forget you know that, or...) I've
had a lifetime of varied jobs, including (but way more than) truck driver, computer
tech, DJ/newscaster, and carpet cleaning business owner.

My passion for narration is based on the conviction that it's time to make a living at
something I truly enjoy. I have always loved to read, and had used audiobooks for
long trips for over ten years. When I took a trucking job, I hit the "play" button big
time, absorbing close to 500 audiobooks in about four years. At the same time, I've
been going to seminars, where I've met a bunch of great people. (The people in
this profession, as a group, are among the nicest I've ever met.) See my "Links"
page for most of them.

I've done one soon-to-be-published audiobook project, "A World of Assassins" by
Neil Davies, a sci-fi/crime novel. This will be one of the "brave new world" of digital
downloads.

In my life beyond voice acting, I like to ride, wrench, and customize my old Honda
cruiser, play wallyball and pickup basketball, play with computers, dig jazz and
blues, and follow Cleveland pro sports. I have a sweet wife who gets some of my
time. Our kids and grandkids are scattered across the country.
