Narration: Hail Mary by Kandi Steiner
Audible Listener Reviews:
"Megan brought the sultry and seductive persona of Mary to the forefront and she absolutely blew my mind. When she was narrating Leoâs dialogue within the chapters it was so well carried out, that you donât even realize sheâs the one voicing him. And that is what I call a remarkable voice actor!"
"When I tell you, Megan Wicks is one of the best narrators I've heard in such a long time. She was amazing!!!!"
"And the audio?! Even better than just reading the story. I think Megan Wicks might be a new favorite narrator for me. I loved her voice and the way she captured Maryâs personality and emotions."
"Meganâs voice has so much emotion while narrating and I am definitely going to need more narrations by her! Such an enjoyable voice to listen to and just knows how to perform books!"
"Wicks brings the character to life with her unique voices and acting abilities. Wicks portrays the main character with depth and authenticity, capturing her struggles and desires with nuance."
"Megan's voice could not be a more perfect Mary. She has a sexy gravel to her voice and her sarcasm and mannerisms were an exact match for Mary. I could not love this audio version more and can't wait to listen on repeat for a comfort read any time."
"Mary was brought to a new level with Megan, her voice was exactly what I envisioned while picturing Mary. She is sassy and spunky and yet soft and feminine and I was entranced with her performance."
"Meganâs narration of Mary is sultry perfection"

Audiobook Narration- Rainfall by Alison Rhymes
"Megan was phenomenal in portraying Isla's difficulty with PPD but also demonstrating the strength she pulled from her family to raise her daughter with love and kindness. She also depicted Isla's resilience to do what needed to be done to protect her daughter but also allow her to form a bond with her father. Megan exuded Isla's strength that has you rooting for her while navigating the unknown."
"Every moment of sadness, loss, heartbreak, panic, bravery or understanding to their soul shattering true love was felt through her voice. Meganâs raspy voice gave me chills knowing what Isla has gone through, yet she made me understand her true self with her spunk and sassy attitude, the confidence she had under her longing for Cillian was powerful and Megan voiced that beautifully.
"Iâm just In awe of how their voices have such an impact on my emotions and the beautiful words that Alison wrote in this book"
"The audiobook was also fantastic. Megan and Austin perfectly captured the emotions of Isla and Cillian and delivered an absolutely breathtaking audio."
"The dual narration by Megan Wicks and Austin Stone was a brilliant touch. Both narrators effortlessly captured the essence of their characters."
Audiobook Narration: Catching Sparks by Hannah Cowan
"Wicks is mesmerizing"
âWicks and Hebert are in sync with each other and the storyâHebert as the protective and proud father (identified in the program as âHâ), and Wicks as the strong, fearless, yet vulnerable daughter (identified as âMâ), directed with the right blend of intensity and delicacy by Gail Dartez. Wicks is mesmerizing as she wears her internal emotional struggles on her tattered sleeves.â

Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike
Review from ShowBiz NoFlo
"Wicks is sweet, naĂŻve, and hopeful, which is badly needed among the cynical little family she finds herself a part of as the play progresses"
Â
Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike
Review from Gainesville.com
"Megan Wicks, graduating UF senior, is the sweet, actress-wannabe Nina. It's tough getting noticed in the company of Morsey, Page and Caldwell, but Wicks has her moments, as when she reads from Vanya's play, assuming the role of molecule in a post-apocalyptic world."
