Our second Who Was / Who Is audiobook, the Harlem Renaissance entry titled What Was The Harlem Renaissance? by Sherri L Smith, recorded on our Main Floor studios this week. The sessions follow up recordings for another entry, Who Is Bono?, which wrapped up recording at the end of last week. Engineer Violette Furton recorded both books for publisher Penguin Random House, with this installment recording in our Sandbox recording suite within our Main Floor space.

What Was The Harlem Renaissance? was read by performer Tashi Thomas for the recording, a talented NYC-area actor and playwright who helped to bring the book’s historical survey to life. Thomas recorded locally in our studios with producer Nithya Rajendran, while director Allen Towbin reviewed takes and offered direction through a remote audio connection.
