A beautifully written book of the life and career of the man who became the master of the audiobook.

Speaking Volumes is a beautifully balanced story of achievement, happiness, humour, concerns and vulnerability. A very human account of a wonderful career full of warm sensitivity and selfless support for others.
Who is he? Never heard of him. Gordon Griffin is the Geordie lad who while still in shorts had a plan and he was going to make it work and he did! With commitment, determination, boundless energy, not waiting for doors to open or luck to come his way, he began a wonderful acting career, tv, radio and casting among other things before talking books.

The huge number of books recorded is no accident, nor the MBE. The dedication, professionalism, hours of preparation and research for each and every book before it gets anywhere near a studio added to a natural talent and passion for reading to the listener the spoken word has been the recipe for success.

Passing on that experience and helping people as he has done for years gives a new generation of narrators the opportunity to move the audiobook industry onwards.

“Come here, listen, I have this amazing story to tell you” He said….. I did and he was right!
