Scott Brick Scott Brick is one of the fastest-rising stars in the audiobook galaxy. His list of recordings is approaching 200 titles--and that's in less than five years. In 2003 alone, Scott's work has been celebrated with seven Earphones Awards and the Science Fiction Audie for DUNE: THE BUTLERIAN JIHAD. Frank Herbert's classic science fiction series has provided Scott with eight multi-hour titles so far, plus the opportunity to develop a glossary of words and pronunciations found in the books. (Fans can find--and hear--the words online at www.dunenovels.com). Scott's other recordings include works by top-selling fiction writers Nelson DeMille, Orson Scott Card, Tom Clancy, Dennis Lehane, and Brad Meltzer, as well as a smattering of literary classics from Kurt Vonnegut, Stephen Crane, and Joseph Conrad. His understated approach to each book serves him well, and whether he is handling a roomful of Russian generals or a series of dizzying scene changes, the listener stays with him for every word. Scott seems to know just when to add vocal color and how to pace the narrative so it never flags. Look for upcoming history titles such as Nathaniel Philbrick's SEA OF GLORY to showcase Scott's talents. His passion for baseball was put in play when he recorded MONEYBALL, and somehow, around his rigorous recording schedule, he also finds time to write screenplays and comic book projects.--2003 Narrator Yearbook
Scott is a relative newcomer who has caught on swiftly, recording 75 titles in just two years. When not in the sound studio, he choreographs fight sequences and writes screenplays. His film version of an Arthur C. Clarke sci-fi novel for producer/star Morgan Freeman goes into production soon. Even as a narrator he loves science fiction. “Orson Scott Card is a friend of mine. I’ve been thrilled to be able to do a couple of his most recent books,” he told AudioFile. But some people think Scott is best at the thriller genre, such as Phillip Margolin’s THE ASSOCIATE. He can do a lustrous job on nonfiction as well, having won an Earphones for Kurt Vonnegut’s essay collection, GOD BLESS YOU, DOCTOR KEVORKIAN. --2001 Narrator Yearbook
