About Phil
Phil Thron has been narrating audiobooks for over 6 years, with 100+ titles and numerous award nominations, winning in the Humor category in the 2020 Independent Audio Book Awards.
A classically trained actor, Phil has worked in the theatre, on camera, and doing voiceover for decades. He was one half of a comedy duo during the 90s, and knows his way around comic characters and interplay, with authors and listeners alike commenting on his “impeccable comedic timing”.
He has written and directed several short films and taught an acting class in Manhattan (at Carnegie Hall, so he can provide the answer to “How do you get to…”).
He also loves to juggle, which translates so well to audiobooks.
A native New Yorker, Phil made the long and treacherous trek to New Jersey where he’s lived for the past 20 years. In his spare time, he devours books and movies, plays every type of game imaginable, plays guitar as badly as is humanly possible, and tennis just a bit better.
His proudest creative collaboration is his two children, where he was just happy to play a supporting role to his wife’s lead.

Bloopers
There is a two-edged sword when working with authors who are just too damned funny. For a narrator who loves to laugh, it can mean spending a lot of time waiting for their own laughter to subside so they can finally do another take and get it right.
Over the course of the last few years, Phil has had many instances of simply not being able to keep it together without laughing. And so several books soon included an outtakes reel of this insanity, along with the usual suspects of flubbed lines, mispronunciation, and general embarrassment at the microphone. Listeners took notice and started remarking on them, with some even requesting a release of just the outtakes. So, included here is the next best thing. Yours to enjoy in sips or big gulps. Careful…they can be addicting.
