I am recording the acclaimed "Wish You Were Dead" Trilogy by Todd Strasser. An the spirit of "I know What You Did Last Summer", Todd Strasser updates the teen thriller for the techno age with Wish You Were Dead, the first installment in a new “thrill”-ogy.

This will be immediately followed by "This World We Live In", the much anticipated 3rd book in the "Life As We Knew It" series by Susan Beth Pfeffer. I was lucky enough to record "LAWKI" just a few years back, and won some nifty awards for it, too. Miranda is one of my favorite characters, I am honored to revisit her in this gripping series.

Here is one review of my performance from "LAWKI"

Emily Bauer's cheery tones define teenaged Miranda and her high school passions, problems, and protests. Everything changes, however, when a meteor collides with the moon, and she and her family discover that both U.S. coasts have fallen away and earthquakes are erupting everywhere. Bauer ratchets up Miranda's anxiety as grocery store shelves empty, electricity fails, skies gray, and cold sets in. As Miranda's life shrinks and her dedication to family expands, Bauer superbly portrays her gamut of emotions--the frustration and fear of the situation, the tenderness that grows from working together to survive, and momentary reappearances of her old optimism as she finds reasons to hope for the future.

NEIL ARMSTRONG IS MY UNCLE & OTHER LIES MUSCLE MAN MCGINTY TOLD ME
Nan Marino Read by Emily Bauer

It’s the summer of the moon landing, and 12-year-old Tamara Simpson feels lonely and out of sorts now that her best friend, a foster child who lived across the street, has unexpectedly moved away. She finds herself increasingly at odds with the neighborhood kids and misunderstood by her dysfunctional parents. Especially annoyed by the new neighbor boy who tells tall tales, Tamara decides to expose and humiliate him. Emily Bauer does an excellent job portraying Tamara's insecurity, pettiness, and desire for revenge. Listeners will be convinced they’re hearing a volatile preteen when Bauer squeals with happiness and wails with despair. Young people will quickly become engrossed in this story and learn a few life lessons in the process. M.H.N. © AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine [Published: JULY 2009

Here are some reviews for some of my recent audiobooks:

JULIA GILLIAN (AND THE ART OF KNOWING)Emily Bauer is an unobtrusive narrator who lets the characters shine. Effervescent Julia is full of kid-centered ideas. Her parents are either distracted or genuinely sympathetic. Brother Zap swings from a young-adult anomie to wild enthusiasm. The personalities Bauer gives these characters are distinct, believable, and just plain fun. A.R. © AudioFile 2009

THE POSSIBILITIES OF SAINTHOOD
Emotions rule Emily Bauer's narration, creating an accurate portrayal of the dramatic Labellas. Bauer gives heroine Antonia Lucia Labella bouncy, bright tones, which emphasize the story's humor as Antonia fires off letters to the Vatican, seeking sainthood for her careful tending of the Labella fig trees, making the best pasta in Rhode Island, or becoming the Patron Saint of the Kiss. Antonia's comic views and Bauer's sarcastic delivery run the gamut from how Italians love to the best way for a 15-year-old girl to modify her Catholic school uniform. In contrast, Antonia's widowed mother rails at her daughter in a furious "just-off-the-boat" Italian accent. Bauer’s depiction of this mother-daughter struggle makes it stand out in relief against Antonia's humorous takes on religion and first love. S.W. © AudioFile 2009

GIRL BOY GIRL : How I Became JT LeRoy
Emily Bauer has her hands full in narrating this first-person account of Knoop, who for six years was a woman pretending to be a man who wanted to be a woman. As the body behind the public persona of author JT Leroy (THE HEART IS DECEITFUL ABOVE ALL THINGS), Knoop exchanged identities back and forth like outfits until she was outted in 2006. Bauer does well in differentiating the gendered voices needed, as well as genuinely inflecting Knoop's own introspection as she recounts the surreal experience. L.E. © AudioFile 2009

OK, it's been a while since I've updated this page! About 10 new audiobooks in the past 3 months, and "The Possibilities of Sainthood" narrated by Emily Bauer, has won all sorts of neat awards!

Highlights have been the narration of Nan Marino's debut young adult book, "Neil Armstrong Is My Uncle and Other Lies Muscle Man McGinty Told Me", and the adult thriller six book "Retriever" series, by Laura Anne Gilman.

MTV Is keeping me super busy, and I couldn't be happier to continue my relationship with them, for going on THREE years!
