As an audiobook narrator, Dana brings the same meticulous craftsmanship to the booth that he brought to the stages of off-Broadway and London's West End.
His voice has been described as a blend of dynamic warmth and savvy intelligence—capable of navigating the complex emotional terrain of a biography one moment and the sharp-witted dialogue of a mystery the next.

His background as an internationally celebrated theatrical composer (most notably for The Witches of Eastwick, The Fix, and the cult classic Zombie Prom) gives him a unique "composer’s ear" for the rhythm and musicality of prose. He doesn't just read words; he interprets the cadence, flow, and subtext of a writer's intent.

"The art of storytelling is the art of connection. Whether I am composing a score or narrating a novel, the goal is always to breathe life into the human experience."

Beyond the creative arts, Dana is recognized as one of the top 15 leadership coaches in New York City. This work in executive presence and vocal impact allows him to bring an added layer of psychological depth and authority to his nonfiction and business narrations.

In addition, Dana is a noted scholar who has published books and articles with leading academic publishers and journals on creativity.

From his professional, sound-treated home studio, Dana serves as a full-time creative partner to authors and publishers. He delivers broadcast-quality audio that meets the highest industry standards every time.
