Lani Tupu (Reader)
Love of the written word has taken Lani Tupu on many journeys--on stage before an audience, in front of the camera and solo inside the quiet of a sound booth in front of a microphone. Once recording begins, Lani is drawn into a world of darkness and light driven by the characters' needs, wants, fears, desires and ultimately in some cases, salvation, redemption and a longing for hope that their journey has not been in vain.

A narrator is very much like a conductor in charge of the overall symphony assigning the characters' their own sounds, tones, pitch and tempo. Approaching the last day of recording is always full of mixed feelings for Lani, with a sense of achievement in telling the story, but also a small sense of loss that it is coming to an end.
