“I nearly ran to my computer to leave this review,” writes one judge of Justin Price’s “flawless” performance in The Last Hitman. “I am in awe of his mastery of the craft.” Justin pulls listeners into the life of Angelo Cipriani, a loyal mafia soldier four decades into his service who realizes the past is still present when the FBI shows up at his door. Justin’s connected and conversational performance left listeners deeply immersed, as he created a world of distinct characters around a 1st-person POV “executed with finesse.”
“Justin Price IS Joe Cipriani” in this audiobook, with tonal and energetic changes that identified how the story moved through time across flashbacks. “Justin Price kept it coming, chapter after chapter. So believable in fact, that Justin Price could absolutely be a 69 year old mobster.” He conveyed moroseness in the present day scenes, delivering an immersive performance where the pacing was “perfection.”
“I totally bought the world he created and his experience moving through it.” In the Narrator of Distinction awards, judges look at the attributes of a performance that make for a compelling experience and show that actors are delivering on the high potential of human performances with excellence. Justin’s “strong and consistent” delivery shines a light on these standards, and stands as a wonderful example of what these awards are all about.
