Raven Audio Books performs a Professional and Integrity based service to all who wish to place the written word into the spoken word.  This recording studio began its life in 1998.  Yes, there is much experience.

Poetry in all its forms is possibly best expressed in the spoken word.  Your listeners actually get to hear the emotion and the deeper meanings behind the words… we are moved.

Poetry (from the Greek "ποίησις", poiesis, a "making") is a form of literary art in which language is used for its aesthetic and evocative qualities in addition to, or in lieu of, its apparent meaning. Poetry may be written independently, as discrete poems, or may occur in conjunction with other arts, as in poetic drama, hymns or lyrics.

Poetry has fascinated and mesmerized us for thousands of years.

Your audio book of Poetry or a single CD of your poetry could continue to mesmerize us for generations to come.

I, John Mahoney, would be honored to record and produce your Poetry.  Please feel free to call and discuss your creative project.

   Peace,

 John Mahoney

I have a unique vantage point to see and experience John’s work.  I completed half of my audio book project before my darling husband, Mark, passed away.  John waited patiently until I could finish the book.  It turned out truly amazing.  Because John is creative, professional and cares about “quality” (that hard to define something that rises above the ordinary), he added some sound and music behind some of my spoken words.  The consistent response I’ve gotten from people to my audio book is…WOW! AMAZING!  John’s ear for detail and willingness to get every sound “right” creates a professional result you can be proud of.  Even more, John understands and appreciates the heart and soul necessary to produce excellent products worthy of circulating around the globe, helping, informing and entertaining people.  You can’t go wrong working with John.

I had the most wonderful collaborative experience while working with John and Raven Audio Books.  This was my first experience with recording and John easily calmed my nerves with his easy-going, yet professional manner and we were able to create an outstanding audio poem book, Of Roots, Shoes and Rhymes.  He was accessible, easy to talk and work with and so knowledgeable.  He knew exactly the type of music or sound background that was needed for each poem and truly made this project unique and beautiful.  I would highly recommend John and feel so fortunate to have his talents so close here in Glendale, Arizona!
