An ever-growing amount of people have been discovering the convenience and joys of audiobooks in recent years thanks to the rise of Audible and iTunes. The ubiquity of media players in the form of iPods and smartphones has turned everyone’s pocket into a doorway leading to thousands of books, In Ear Entertainment is right on the other side of that door with fresh literature from new talent for lovers of all things science fiction and horror.
Dave Bulmer, narrator of Crank Tech One: Destruction, said: “I’ve always had a passion for audiobooks. I’d even recorded a few myself and uploaded them to my YouTube channel. Working with In Ear Entertainment has allowed me to explore voice acting more and it is something I will be pursuing further.”
Mark Chatterley, The One in Charge at In Ear Entertainment, said: “Coming in at 5 hours this is the longest audiobook we have created to date. Dave has done an amazing job with the characterisation of all the characters and his skills will have listeners laughing out loud and get their hearts pounding as they follow Crank and Tim’s journey.”
