About
Hello my name is Poppy and I have been narrating audiobooks for 4 years now from my custom built home studio that I adore. I have formal training in acting with a BA HONS in musical theatre. I have always loved books and storytelling and will give every project I do my full energy and respect. I like to build lasting relationships with each Author/Rights holder and hope to collaborate long term. A fun fact about me is that I am a professionally trained singer and that skill has been put to use in a fair few of the audiobooks I have produced.
I have to date narrated 55+ books available on multiple platforms.
​
Warm, emotive and sometimes sarcastic narrator working from my Home studio Based in the South West of England. I am originally from East Anglia and now live in the Cotswolds with my booth assistant Rogue who just so happens to be a tortoise shell cat.

What Author's and listener's say about me!
Author Review
Most indie authors are crazy busy. Producing an audiobook is another thing in the endless list of things that we have to do. It’s stressful and scary.
So I consider myself very fortunate to be working with Poppy Royana.
Poppy is currently narrating my Creatures of the Otherworld Series. I genuinely don’t think I could have found anyone better to bring my characters to life. I know how talented Poppy is when I’ve done what feels like a thousand edits on a book. I know the book inside and out, yet, when I listen to Poppy read, she has me on the edge of my seat.
Poppy interprets my words as if she has crawled inside my head. Her work ethic and professionalism is also first class. I’ve found I can hand over my manuscript and with no input from me; she produces the most beautiful product.

Poppy is just incredible. Her voice is beautiful, and she always seems to just "get" my characters. She is also super open to suggestions - very easy to work with. Highly recommended!
Listener
Poppy Royana brings an element to the narration that I can’t explain. Maybe it is the British accent but she is a joy to listen to. Her narration enhances the story line to the point now that I wait for the audible version of the story before devouring another snippet of this world.
Listener
The narrator did an awesome job as always. I highly , highly recommend this story! Ever book of Ms. Thomas is great with great narration on every story by Ms Royana!

I love the narrator, the perfect British accent to bring this book to life.
Listener
The narrator had a beautiful tone to her voice and her singing was very pretty, (wouldn’t mind hearing an album of folk songs sang by her too!)
