Bill Homewood

Bill Homewood is a British actor and audiobook narrator who has built a distinguished career across theatre, television, and audio. He has appeared in numerous stage productions and television dramas over a long career. As an audiobook narrator, Homewood has recorded a substantial catalogue of titles, with particular strength in classic French literature in English translation — he has narrated major works by Victor Hugo, Alexandre Dumas, and other French authors. His ability to handle the sweep and complexity of nineteenth-century literature, with its large casts of characters and extended narratives, is exceptional. Homewood's voice is rich, authoritative, and well suited to epic storytelling. His theatrical training gives him excellent vocal control and character differentiation, and his stamina for long recordings is impressive — classic novels often run to twenty or thirty hours. He has won AudioFile Earphones Awards for his narration work. For listeners who enjoy classic literature in audio form, Bill Homewood is one of the finest narrators of the great nineteenth-century novels.
