Revolution
on the Hudson
Using his expressive
baritone to great advantage, narrator Jonathan Yen
energetically recounts the struggle for control of the
Hudson River Valley during the American Revolution.
. . . Yen's consistent, clear voice never misses a beat,
and he affects credible and unique voices and accents
for quotes that add to the narrative. His performance is
nearly flawless, allowing the listener to easily
comprehend the text. - -AudioFile Magazine
Real
Food, Fake Food
Yen deftly handles the required accents as author
Olmsted travels around the world--from French vineyards to
Italian cheese caves, Japanese beef farms, and California
olive groves - - explaining the importance of terroir and
the differences between authentic foods and the readily
available, insufficiently labeled knockoffs found in
American markets and restaurants. - - AudioFile

The
Apache Wars
Jonathan Yen's baritone does well in narrating this
history of the quarter-century-long struggle for control
of the American Southwest. . . . Yen is consistent in
reading narrative with an expressive and clear voice that
works well. He affects a different voice for quotes that
is effective but not all that different from his narrative
voice. All of it is done with great verve and energy,
making for an enjoyable listening experience.

Life
And Death In The Andes
Jonathan Yen’s narration . . . is outstanding. Yen’s
finely tuned attention to pronunciation, languages, accents
and characterization brings this book to life and lands the
listener directly in the Andes Mountains amidst the Incas,
rebels, archaeologists, evolutionists, and fallen virgin
maidens sacrificed to appease the gods. - -

The
Guise of Another
Jonathan Yen ... delivered a suspenseful cautionary
cat and mouse performance with a wide range of voices—and
an intense cast of characters! To further enhance your
overall experience, highly recommend the audio version.
Was so glued to my iPod, each time I was interrupted;
quickly rewinding--you do not want to miss a thing. -

The
Acolyte
Jonathan Yen’s narration is pitch-perfect for the
tone of this book. He has a gritty, almost-gravely, style
that lends itself beautifully to the first-person noir
elements that are pervasive in Cutter’s writing, giving
the book a sort of L.A. Confidential by way of religious
fundamentalism vibe. Murtag is a straight Joe Friday-type,
and Yen voices the Just The Facts, Ma’am sensibility
wonderfully, but also adopts some natural voice-work for
ancillary characters, with his performance of The Quints,
a murderous batch of quintuplets, suitably scary and
effective. - - GoodReads.com
Exit
Papers from Paradise
Jonathan Yen’s narration makes this witty,
one-of-a-kind character real.

A
Touch of Infinity
A striking marriage of performance and storytelling,
these satirical sci-fi vignettes from Howard Fast are
provided insightful character acting by versatile baritone
Jonathan Yen. Yen’s distinct and perceptive role-playing
lends personality, authenticity, and compassion to these
kitchen-sink catastrophes. -
