What makes an audiobook narrator compelling? Is it the first time you get a sense of their personality from a TikTok introduction? Is it when you hear all the things they can do in their audiobook samples? Or is it when all the pieces come together and you see a superstar in the making? When the Deadline team encountered Arya Jacobs, it was all those pieces and more! The way she came out of the gate in her debut as a narrator and used social media as a space to both practice and connect deeply compelled us. We loved listening to how much her work leveled up across her first books, and we knew one thing for certain: Arya Jacobs was that girl! We're going to spend this next year cheering on all her work as her career continues to rise, and we hope you'll join us in congratulating her as the 2026 Pathfinder Award winner!
You can learn more about Arya on her website and connect with her directly with audiobook opportunities.
