I am so proud to announce that Gaysians by Mike Curato won an AudioFile Magazine Earphones Award!! I had the honor of voicing the character of John, who is a gruff but sweet gay-mer bear who is a part of the “Boy Luck Club” a group of gay Asian-American friends navigating the highs and lows of the gay scene in Seattle during the early aughts.
from the AudioFile website:
“A full cast brings this graphic novel to life on audio. Author Mike Curato narrates in an innocent tone as AJ, who is new to Seattle and anxious to break into the gay dating scene. When he crashes into a gorgeous drag queen, K, she sweeps him into her “Boy Luck Club.” Nicky Endres brings elegance to their portrayal of K, who mothers the group of gay Asian friends while hiding her own pain. Earl T Kim voices John, a gamer with a deep, resonant voice and major insecurities about crushing on his flirtatious roommate, Steven, who is depicted with skill by Dustin Vuong Nguyen. The story shifts among the various points of view, giving a window onto the characters’ past lives, and their futures together. E.E.C.
