As a teacher of Russian to university students, I learned that the right mixture of clarity, patience, and humor can keep an audience engaged, informed, and entertained. That's true for any kind of storytelling, whether I'm narrating 1,000 years of the history of Moscow, a 15-minute children's book, or a wry look at the joys and quirks of life in Florida, to name a few of my recent projects.
With years of travel and language learning under my belt, I'm very comfortable with non-English pronunciation challenges, particularly Russian, German, Irish, Dutch, and French. And if it's a language I haven't encountered, graduate study in linguistic phonetics has given me the skills to research for accuracy.

With his clear, baritone voice, narrator Curt Ford does well recounting this history of Moscow... Ford ably pronounces the many Russian names and words, and reads at a steady pace... A solid narration of the history of one of the world’s great cities.
–Kirkus Reviews
I must admit that one of the best parts of this book is the reader in the audible edition. His accents, perfect pronunciation, his calm, lilting descriptions... aren’t to be missed. I’m pretty sure this is our man when the Apocalypse comes calling.
– a review of "A Kingdom and a Village"
Loved the dual narration from Jenna Rose Stein and Brendon Kirk. (Stolen Heart, read under pseudonym)
