The team of Leonard Pitts, Jr., and Sean Crisden has created a post-Civil War masterpiece. The lives of freed slaves, particularly that of Sam Freeman, are presented in unsparing brutality, with snippets of kindness and humanity by an occasional white person. Crisden expertly depicts Sam’s journey on foot from Pennsylvania to Mississippi in search of his wife. Every emotion, shattered dream, and joyous occasion is deftly captured regardless of the background of the character–man, woman, or child…

“This book is an absolute aural treat. It’s the transcription of an oral history told by Nate Shaw, an elderly African-American sharecropper living in the South. While the written words might be interesting, in audio they are absolutely transfixing. Sean Crisden narrates the work with just the right regional accent, cadence, and pacing. Even the ramblings seem natural. It takes several minutes to get used to the strong rural accent—such as dropped “g’s,” “de” instead of “the,” and othe…

As the owner of an audiobook company, I easily listen to dozens of demos a week. Yet, the first time I heard Sean’s voice, I thought I had died and gone to heaven. Beyond being clear and radiant, there is depth in every, single utterance he makes. It seems to matter little what is on the page, Sean knows how to tell a story. And he does so perfectly. In the years we’ve worked together, he has consistently met deadlines and exceeded expectations. Everyone at Red Planet Audiobooks loves him, and I…

Sean Crisden recently did voice-over work with our company on a health- care training video. Not only did he bring great talent to his VO parts, he was very timely with all responses and paperwork and thoroughly professional. Sean also brought a great sense of humor to the process which kept our whole team smiling throughout the project delivery. I give him my highest recommendation.

Sean is an incredibly prompt, versatile, and professional voice actor. In the time-sensitive world of production, Sean is always reliable in delivering his work. Also, Sean has incredible range. When I came across an older published project, I had to double-check to make sure it was actually Sean that was assigned to the project. A great talent and a fun guy to work with.

I LOVED working with Sean. He was professional, approachable and did such an amazing job with my books that it felt as if he climbed into my brain and found out what my characters sounded like. It was amazing to hear the Tate Pack cowboys come to life with Sean’s talented voice. The Rooster & The Pig Publishing will DEFINITELY be using him again.

Sean is an amazing guy to work with. Quick work, prompt responses, really professional and most of all – highly versatile. He’s unselfish and not afraid to help your project succeed. Sean plays wacky and straight characters with equal ease. An absolute pleasure working with him!
