PRH Audio producers Kelly Gildea and Amber Beard were also recognized with a Special Industry Achievement Award (presented virtually by Whoopi Goldberg) for their work to increase inclusivity in audiobooks via the PRH Audio Narrator Mentorship program. The Special Industry Achievement recognizes individuals who have had a significant impact on the audiobook industry over the past year. Kelly and Amber spearheaded the program, now in it’s third cohort, which matches new narrators from underrepresented communities with a member of PRH Audio’s production team to provide advice on navigating the industry, audition and performance feedback, and develop and record a demo. Each round has received thousands of applications from narrators all over the world.
