Back to EpisodesBostonVoiceGuy Unfiltered: Chris Ciulla on Narration, Noir, and Launching His Own Publishing Empire
Description
Dive into the world of audiobooks with one of the industry's most versatile and prolific voices! In this episode of Idiosyncratic Fables, I sit down with Chris Ciulla, the award-winning narrator known as @BostonVoiceGuy.
With over 600 audiobooks narrated—including multiple Earphones Awards and an Audie in the mix—Chris has brought grit, heart, and killer accents to thrillers, noir, horror, and more. He's the voice behind characters in Fallout 4, Mafia III, Starfield, and on-screen roles in Gotham and Castle. Former sports radio host, boxing commentator, improv comic, and now CEO of Leonardo Audio and founder of Nor'easter Publishing, Chris shares his origin story: that life-changing Barnes & Noble moment hearing Michael Beck narrate Grisham in 2009, the mentors who shaped his craft, flipping between Boston tough-guy and Russian mobster effortlessly, producing star-studded projects, coaching the next generation of narrators, and building a legacy in honor of his late father.
Whether you're an aspiring narrator, audiobook fan, or storyteller at heart, this conversation is packed with booth wisdom, hilarious behind-the-scenes tales, and inspiration for anyone chasing a voice-driven career.
