    Robb Moreira Interview: The Voice of Ridoc from Fourth Wing | Audiobook, Acting & Make It Spill

    WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU PUT RIDOC'S VOICE BEHIND THE MICROPHONE… AND THEN START ASKING QUESTIONS? Today on Spill the Book, we're joined by the incredibly talented Robb Moreira, the voice behind Ridoc—the character who somehow manages to make questionable decisions sound completely charming. You know the guy. The one who walks into a life-or-death situation and you immediately think: “Oh good. He's going to make this worse.” Yep. That guy. But today we're stepping away from the character and getting to know the person behind the microphone. In this episode, we talk with Robb about voice acting, audiobook narration, bringing fictional characters to life, reading scripts, performance, and what it's actually like to become the voice listeners hear in their heads. And because this is Spill the Book… We couldn't possibly behave ourselves. We're getting personal. We're reading scripts together. And we're bringing back one of our favourite games: 🔥 MAKE IT SPILL Where we take a perfectly innocent sentence and make it hotter, more awkward, more dramatic, or significantly sadder than any human being should reasonably have to experience. So will Robb maintain his dignity? Absolutely not. Probably. Maybe. We're very sorry in advance. 🎙️ Getting to know Robb Moreira beyond the microphone🎧 What it's like to narrate audiobooks📖 Bringing a fictional character to life through voice🎭 Acting vs. audiobook narration📝 Reading and performing scripts🔥 The character behind the voice😂 Our favourite Make It Spill challenge💬 Personal questions and plenty of chaos🎙️ What happens when an audiobook narrator gets put on the spot If you're a fan of Ridoc, audiobooks, voice actors, audiobook narration, fantasy books, bookish interviews, or the people behind the voices that make fictional characters feel real, you're going to want to listen to this one. What makes an audiobook narrator unforgettable to you? Is it the character voices? The emotion? The ability to make you completely forget you're listening to someone read? Or is there a particular audiobook narrator whose voice you would recognize ANYWHERE? And be honest… Who would you trust to narrate your life? 😂 Drop your answer in the comments!

    Some books get five stars. Some books get one star.

Today, we're spilling a little bit of everything. 🔥 FIRST: THE ONE-STAR REVIEWS We’re reading some of the funniest, most savage and completely unhinged one-star reviews we could find. From Yesteryear to Daggermouth, Dungeon Crawler Carl and Where the Crawdads Sing, these reviewers did NOT come to play. Some are critiques. Some are personal attacks. And some make us question whether the reviewer—or the book—will ever recover. 😂 📚 THEN: BOOKISH GAMES Because apparently reading books isn't enough chaos, we're playing a couple of bookish games and giving ourselves even more opportunities to embarrass ourselves. 📬 THEN IT'S TIME FOR THE SPILL THE BOOK MAIL & MAYHEM AFTERSPILL Remember those indie books we unwrapped?

Tait — fantasy & historical magical realism📖 Stoney Brooks — horror And then we get to the really good stuff… ❤️ TWO AUGUST INDIE RELEASES WE ACTUALLY READ AND LOVED We're talking about Tessa Brookfield's Who's Fixing Who, a chaotic rom-com packed with chemistry, mystery and plot twists… …and The Hundred Lives I Lived Before You, a genre-bending speculative romance about a man who wakes up in different lives, eras and worlds—and finally finds someone worth staying for. Basically: your TBR is about to get longer. Again. You're welcome. Before I Deserved You — Nomi J. AverySmall-town romantic suspense | Friends to lovers | He falls first | Hidden love Falling Up / Zero I — Rodger E.
