Douglas Wayne Ricketts is a versatile voice actor, announcer, and audiobook narrator known for clear, authoritative delivery, character versatility, and broadcast‑quality production. Recently selected to narrate the first English-language audiobook in Glen Cook's iconic "Garrett, P.I." series (as well as being considered to bring all of the books to audio life), Douglas has over 30+ years of voice-over and audio editing experience including over a decade of award-winning professional radio broadcasting in Anchorage, Alaska and Palm Springs, California. With a strong baritone voice and natural or bold announcer delivery, he has also played characters in radio parodies & commercials ranging from elementary-school age children to ancient professors with a vaguely European accent and much more. He also has stand-up comedy and live improv experience with some impersonation skills. With credits spanning EA Sports, Sega, award‑winning radio work, and a rapidly growing audiobook catalog, he brings professional polish and storytelling instinct to every project.
In January 2026 he began producing the podcast "Project 2025 Read by Douglas Wayne Ricketts" which is available at RSS.com, YouTube, and anywhere you get your podcasts. The series serves as an audio adaptation and critical commentary track for "Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise," the policy document compiled by the Heritage Foundation. Designed for listeners who do not have the time to read through the extensive 900+ page policy book PDF, the podcast breaks down the document section by section. Accompanied by original ambient and instrumental music composed and produced by Ricketts himself, he frequently interjects dry, sarcastic commentary when reacting to specific policy proposals. He often highlights what he views as absurdities in the text by juxtaposing official corporate or political phrasing with straightforward, plain-spoken observations and blunt, incredulous remarks (e.g., "I wish I was kidding, they really wrote that!") to break up the dense policy readings.
"I highly recommend Douglas Wayne Ricketts, who has brought this book to life with his outstanding voice and recording capabilities. He is a skilled professional who has perfected his craft." (Krinken Rohleder, author of "Cognitive Attack Surface" -- April 2026)
