Ever been told you weren't good enough to pursue your dream? Kris Keppeler was told at just 13 years old that she'd never learn to sing. Instead of letting those words define her, she used them as fuel to build an incredible career as an audiobook narrator, voice actor, actor, writer, and podcaster.

In this episode of Conversations with Rich Bennett, Kris shares how persistence, creativity, and a love for storytelling transformed criticism into opportunity. Rich also gets a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at the world of audiobook narration, voice acting, and why authentic human performances continue to matter in an age of artificial intelligence.

In this episode you'll discover:

•  How Kris turned criticism into motivation. 
•  What really goes into narrating an audiobook. 
•  The difference between voice acting and voice-over work. 
•  Why children's books are some of her favorite projects. 
•  Why authors should carefully consider who narrates their books. 

Whether you're an author, aspiring narrator, podcaster, or simply someone working toward a dream others have doubted, this conversation will encourage you to keep moving forward.
