About will

Will grew up in southern Virginia and has worked for fifteen years as a professional audiobook narrator. His performances comprise over 800 titles, though he is best known for voicing mysteries and thrillers, memoirs, business and leadership books, and romances. He studied acting at Middlebury College, and has appeared Off-Broadway and in regional theater in New York and Virginia.

Will completed the first draft of his debut fantasy-adventure novel, The Tercentennial Baron, while living on his parents' 350-year-old farm and working as an actor at Colonial Williamsburg. He then moved to Los Angeles, where he launched a career as a narrator while editing the book. After preparing the final manuscript, he decided to publish it as an independent author.

As a voice actor, Will has garnered two Audie Awards, four Voice Arts Awards, and several AudioFile Earphones Awards. In 2026, he joined the second class of inductees into Audible's Narrator Hall of Fame. As a writer, he began developing a new series after the publication of The Tercentennial Baron, this one geared toward adults and set near his childhood home in Virginia. That series became the crime saga Southern Dons, which Will sold in a three-book deal to Blackstone Publishing in 2026. He has also optioned the television rights for development with Universal, in conjunction with Littleton Road Productions.

Due to the intensity and isolation of his recording schedule, and his lifelong struggle with clinical depression, Will became very attuned to the mental health risks of being a full-time narrator. During the COVID-19 pandemic, he founded the Narrator Alliance, a support group for audiobook performers that provides a safe space to talk honestly about the challenges and joys of the business.

Will moved to Atlanta, Georgia, in 2020, where he continues to write and act. He is married to actress and narrator January LaVoy, and when not in the studio they love to roam their city sampling food and cocktails . . . and curling up on the couch beside their dog, Sir Toby Belch.
