"After working with Taro for over 20 years on a variety of projects I have come to know all of the talents Taro has as an audiobook producer. She brings a unique and rare perspective to every project. Taro works with talent to draw out and perfect the best performancenot just the best read. . . . There are few producers who work in audiobooks who look at a project from the actors point of view. But whether it is an audiobook project, a music project, or writing, Taro brings a wealth of acting and producing knowledge and experience.
