Another Year of Wonder - a voice project on Clemmie’s behalf

Clemency Burton-Hill’s audiobook of Another Year of Wonder (Headline Home)

will be narrated by Eddie Redmayne, with an introduction from Elizabeth Day.

The book suggests an “extraordinary” piece of music for every day of the year.

“I feel honoured to have narrated Another Year of Wonder on Clemmie’s behalf,”

said Redmayne. “She writes about each piece of music with such energy and

passion that you can’t help but immediately want to stop what you’re doing

and seek it out. It’s a fascinating book which I hope many will enjoy.”

@clemencybh: Look! Somehow this exists! In the actual world!

“I am so delighted that Eddie has narrated Another Year of Wonder on my behalf,”

said Burton-Hill. “He has been a dear friend for many years and has been a huge

support to me over the past two years, since I suffered a catastrophic brain injury.

I can’t think of anyone better to bring my words to life in the audiobook, and I am

also hugely grateful to the wonderful Elizabeth Day for narrating her beautiful

foreword and my introduction to the book.”

Fantastic Beasts, the most preordered audiobook ever

The audiobook edition of “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” was Audible’s most preordered title ever, 

the company told MarketWatch. Mind you, this audiobook, which goes on sale Tuesday, is not even a reading 

of the screenplay of the hit 2016 movie, but rather the alphabetical encyclopedia of magical creatures, from 

Acromantula to Yeti...it's a remarkable achievement for Eddie. (via)

tvovermind: Eddie Redmayne Reading “Fantastic Beasts” Is Soothing to the Soul
...There are a number of actors out there whose voices were just made for soothing us to sleep or putting
us in a comfort zone that we’d want to stay in forever. Morgan Freeman is usually the voice that always
comes to mind, but there are others out there with their own unique sound that could even make us adults
feel like children. One of those voices is Eddie Redmayne.  Pottermore has just released a digital audiobook
version of J.K. Rowling’s Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, and it’s narrated by everyone’s favorite
beast-smuggling wizard himself....
While his voice isn’t quite as soothing and regal as a Morgan Freeman, if you lie down while listening to this
it’s hard not to fall into a hypnotic trance and just lay there, still as a statue. In fact I think I’m going to have
to take a nap right now. I wish Eddie Redmayne could read me bedtime stories every night. Is that weird?
Perhaps, but it’s still true.

Pottermore: Eddie Redmayne on recording Newt Scamander’s life work
...‘There was one line in the original script of the film, in which Newt says: “I’m not sure that anything that occurs
in nature can be unnatural.” The line ended up not being in the film but I always used it as my way of re-finding
Newt’s voice. That was my way to get back into his skin today.’....

Men's Style AU interview - Fantastic Beasts audiobook sample

Drew Turney meets Eddie Redmayne, actor, Oscar winner, brand ambassador and clothes horse 

to discuss all those things and his most recent film, Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them

(Quotes from the Men’s Style Australia Summer 2017/17 issue)

“Do I have a plan?” he laughs when Men’s Style asks about his seemingly backwards career 

trajectory. “I love the idea that actors have any choice whatsoever. We’re literally lucky to get 

employment. There were six or seven other actors who were offered the part for The Theory of 

Everything and I was lucky enough that they turned it down. I fought for it and got it and it just 

happens that it worked. Suddenly you’re on a list for a moment, but that’ll all shift and change 

in a year’s time.”… 

“You have to fight for all the [projects] you want that are outside people’s expectation of who you 

are,” he says. “Otherwise you end up being cast in the same thing again and again and again. 

You’re always trying to prove the people who have preconceptions of who you are wrong.”…

Pottermore’s highly anticipated audiobook, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them,

or listen, rather -- the passage about basilisks at Eddie Redmayne’s delightful narration.

In addition to Redmayne's narration, the audio version of Fantastic Beasts, which has been
revised by Rowling, features six new beasts as well a new foreword by Scamander. (x)
