Maria Marquis is “just perfect” as Beatrice in this contemporary romance, delivering a “super listenable narration” with “absolutely spot on” pacing. Bea’s life is being flipped upside down by a move back to Ireland with regular trips to NYC where she and her moody ex share custody of her six year old. And now, her company’s new CTO happens to be the boy who once broke her heart. Maria offers up a fully textured experience with the character work and 1st person narration that you’d expect from a well-trained thespian.
In excellent sync with author Ali Rosen, Maria seamlessly delivers on humor and embodies this cast in full, keeping her Irish accents consistent and weaving together a totally immersive performance. She brings dialogues to life with natural energy and makes listeners feel present with the characters, including male voices that feel comfortable and believable.
Judges said: “I got lost in the story. I didn’t want it to end,” as Maria deftly applies her skills and gives listeners the space to see all the little details in the world of Alternate Endings come to life. Maria was perfectly cast in this title, and as a Narrator of Distinction she knocks it out of the park in this “amazing,” “perfect,” and “masterful” performance.
