About Sean Patrick Hopkins
A student of neuroscience, speech pathology, & theatre, Sean Patrick Hopkins has translated his understanding of human behavior & vocal performance into a career in storytelling. You can hear his voice on nearly 600 audiobooks spanning many genres, speaking the words of Stephen King, James Patterson, and Jean Shepherd; narrating alongside the likes of Tom Hanks, Patrick Stewart, and LeVar Burton; inhabiting the worlds of Star Wars, Marvel, Minecraft, & Halo; and enlivening the stories of multiple Nobel Prize winners, Stoker and Shirley Jackson Award winners, and a Pulitzer finalist. He's won the Audie Award, SOVAS Award, AudioFile Earphones Award, and Odyssey Honor.Sean’s narrative style is the vocal equivalent of the tragedy and comedy masks, finding nuance in naturalism, and humanity in heuristics. He thrives in the horror and humor genres, and finds vital overlap between the two. His favorite element of fiction is magical realism, and he believes it is this that elevates a story to speak beyond words directly to our souls. Sean met his wife, fellow narrator Patricia Santomasso, in a library, and they are proud parents of a superbly creative youngster who is valiantly carrying on the family storytelling tradition.
