      1. Another vote for Honeybee here, off to check out All About Yves. I rarely feel compelled to put a face to the narrator’s voice as much as I did when I Googled yours Harvey – what an incredible talent you are. Thank you! All the best to you.

  5. Dear Harvey, I have been meaning to write ever since I finished listening to you a few weeks ago. Thank you SO much for your narration of Honey Bee. Never have I felt so connected to and involved in a story through voice. Your raw, honest, warm and powerful work gave each person their own entire world. You are incredibly skilled and it was a privilege to listen and be let in. Thanks again and hope to hear you on other works soon. Ruby (Adelaide)

    1. Wow, thanks so much for your kind words Ruby, I’m so glad you enjoyed Honeybee and I so appreciate you reaching out! I absolutely loved narrating Honeybee. I’ve also just narrated All About Yves by Yves Rees, available Sept 1st, if you’re after another listen! 😀

  6. I saw you in Because the Night a month ago and you were my absolute favourite amongst a stellar cast. My girlfriend went to Because the Night last weekend and I was so happy it was the same cast because we both shared the joy of you as Laertes, albeit separately. This evening, we were watching My First Summer and squealed in delight simultaneously when we recognised you – so much so, her cat leaped off the couch and didn’t appear till the end of the film. You are a fantastic artist and I look forward to seeing what you do next.

  8. Your work on Honeybee is exactly why I prefer audio books. I could listen to your voice all day. The Aussie accent, the extended awkward adolescent pauses, the diction on point – I loved it. You really made Sam’s world cone to life. I hope you hear more of you.
