<![CDATA[AudioFile Magazine Earphones Awards x2 !]]>Tue, 02 Nov 2021 13:09:35 GMThttp://grahamhalstead.com/updates-and-upcoming/audiofile-magazine-earphones-awards-x2
Blown away by the love from AudioFile Magazine - my audiobook narration was awarded not one, but two(!) Earphones Awards in the last few months.

First up is "Into the Sky With Diamonds" by Ronald P. Grelsamer, a historical fiction account of the simultaneous rise of the Beatles and NASA. Directed by May Wuthrich, this project was a labor of love and an absolute delight as an actor to get to portray each of the Beatles' voices and personalities. 

Second, "The Great Mistake" by Jonathan Lee tells a fictionalized version of the life of Andrew Haswell Green, the brilliant mind and force behind many of New York City's landmarks including Central Park. Directed by Tara Thomas and produced by Penguin Random House Audio, this project was a beautiful and poetic retelling of a man's epic life in sparkling prose.

Endless thanks to AudioFile Magazine and the many, many people who helped bring these stories to life.

Loved sharing the new short film I wrote and directed "how to be o.k." with the Samtökin 78 LGBTQ community in Reykjavik, Iceland this past month. Met some wonderful folks and got to share a universal story with a group half a world away from New York City.

<![CDATA[3 Audie NOminations!!!]]>Wed, 07 Feb 2018 16:14:47 GMThttp://grahamhalstead.com/updates-and-upcoming/3-audie-nominations
So the Audie Awards are the Audiobook equivalent to the Oscars and I am honored to have been nominated for 3(!?!) titles I worked on this past year. Audiobooks hold a special place in my creative life and it is gratifying to be honored this way. Thanks to the Audio Publishers Association, AudioFile Magazine, Tantor Audio, Recorded Books, Penguin Random House Audio and all the producers and engineers and proofers and QCers and I could go on and on. Audiobooks are a collaborative art form even if sometimes it feels like as narrators we're alone in our booths. So cheers to all the nominees and I can't wait to celebrate you come May! #Audies2018

Acting as The Inmate in "Fleur-de-Lis"; Montclair, NJ
I got to work on two different short films over the last several weeks, "Fleur-de-Lis" by Evan Bradley and "Tippet" by Sean Mullen. I happened to play a criminal in both, and while I do not advocate for a life of crime, it was fun to play the bad guy. Look out for these two intense shorts come December.
