Meet Val Caruso
I have decades of experience presenting, instructing, briefing, and narrating live ceremonies. Naturally I did a lot of this over decades in the military. I’m also a public speaker beyond the wine education realm.
As a wine educator I’ve presented online webinars, in person professional sessions, as well as corporate and private client events, and have hosted, recorded and produced over 300 podcast episodes.
Voice characteristics I’ve noted from feedback and coaching include: warm, easy to listen to, engaging, inspirational, and relatable.
In addition to narrating nonfiction and historical works, and capturing a professional tone, I appreciate the comments in reviews about my “subtle wit” coming through in the finished works, where desired by the client.
Audiobook narration is a particular passion of mine, and I have 10 years of experience in audio editing and producing. All of my work meets the ACX audiobook production standard.
