Romance - 3rd person POV - Penguin Random House
"Helen Laser's narration is fun and upbeat, yet slightly dark. She injects a hint of attraction between the whimsical witch Mariel and the powerful demon Ozroth, who has fallen from grace...Laser portrays each character distinctively. The listener gets a sense of Ozroth's buff body from his sexy voice, while Mariel sounds quirky and cute. Her love of plants contrasts with her witch persona. Laser nails their characters in addition to capturing the bossy personality of Mariel's mother. Laser keeps the story light and engaging with just enough drama."
Mystery - 3rd person POV - Penguin Random House
"Helen Laser makes this horse-centered drama a devilishly fun listen...Laser's deft narration shifts between entitled teenagers and the dysfunctional adults who surround them. Laser believably employs the upspeak of California teens while wisely refraining from that cadence when voicing the main characters, Heather, an over-involved "barn mother," and her two daughters, Maple and Piper. Although the audiobook's opulent setting is over the top, the characters as voiced by Laser never come off as caricatures. Listeners will be swept into the mystery when a body is discovered in a barn stall."
Non-Fiction- 1st person POV - Milkweed
"Helen Laser narrates with a thoughtful style, a smart cadence, and an empathetic tone...Laser emulates the author's probing journalistic style when she interviews her shipmates on their experiences and captures Rush's personal struggle as she contemplates bringing a child into our environmentally compromised world. Laser vividly delivers Rush's thoughts and experiences, including an account of giving birth the year after she returned.

What Folks are saying
"Helen Laser’s narration brings June’s cutting inner voice to life, immersing listeners in her bitter emotions about a writer’s role in contemporary publishing. Laser’s performance of June’s frantic, defensive first-person perspective renders the sarcasm so biting, the reasoning so desperate, that listeners will find it difficult to turn away from the scandal of the story.”

"Masterful narration. Extremely dark, difficult material with a well-crafted story. But it's Helen Laser's fantastic narration that really makes this. Her performance is perfectly nuanced, natural and completely draws you in."
-Audible Review: The Harpy
"Narrator Helen Laser masterfully takes thief, liar, and plagiarizer June from despicable to almost sympathetic. Laser’s narration, which is deeply in tune with Kuang’s writing, immerses listeners in June’s downward spiral, from a delusional woman clinging to plausible deniability to an outrageous literary monster. Laser makes it easy to be seduced by June’s inner narrative, where envy and greed are transformed into altruism. Collaborating with an unethical editor and marketing team inflates June’s ego beyond redemption, an arc that Laser readily captures as she allows June’s voice to become more smug, snappish, and entitled."
