Natasha Gostwick
I am an Actress and Educator with a wide range of experience in the industry both in stage, film and commercial work. After completing an MA in Classical Acting at The Central School of Speech & Drama in 2005 I started reading stories for Storynory. Since then I have read over 200 stories ranging from Classic Fairytales, Myths & legends and Storynory originals. Storynory has been my one constant and I have been fortunate enough to be able to develop a clear storytelling style and hone my skills and passion for dramatic reading and the practical voice, which so much of my original training in verse and classic text was about.

I have continually kept up my love of teaching, facilitating both drama and dance in performing arts and educational schools. This year I organised the first ever Storynory audio podcasting workshop, which was the stepping-stone to my desire to build two strands of Storynory; the Educational and Storytelling as an Art form. From all the feedback we receive from adults and children all over the world I am always touched and surprised at the wide ranging response we receive from Storynory listeners.I’m very exited to be part of developing Storynory for the future in both art and education.

    Natasha,
    Your voice is so melodic and soothing, it captures the attention of children and adults alike. All of your stories are my favorites, and I have to admit, I downloaded all of them only for me, since I have no children. I listen to them on my daily walks, and find the humdrum of exercise much improved by them! Many thanks, and do not stop, no matter what!
    Sincerely,
    Colette

    Honestly, Natasha Gostwick is the best story-teller on the planet!! Her voice is soooo soothing (even for someone who just had a bad day), therapeutic and pleasing to the ears! Her story-telling skill is unmatched!!

    How about a “Natasha Gostwick Fan club or web site” for her adoring fans (children and adults) worldwide?

    That would be excellent I reckon.

    Natasha, since last year, I let my son Moises listen to your stories on our way to school. His facial expression changes as he listens. Now, he reads aloud with nice inflections and expressiveness instead of the usual child’s monotone. Thank you so much.

    I think you are a very beautiful person. You have the most interesting inflections as you read the stories, though I have only listened to one of them. Continue doing what you do, I know you help a lot of children that way.

    Hi Sheryl,

    When Natasha is not doing Storynory she’s busy leading an actress’s life, and so I do all the replies. She loves reading the stories, – and she does them wonderfully – but it seems that this sort of thing is not for her.

    Dear Natasha,

    We listen to you every night. We especially like the Tick Tock Turkey stories. But all of them are great. We are big fans. Mama says we can give you sandwiches, cookies and milk if you ever come over to where we live. Then WE can read YOU stories because you deserve stories too.

    Hi, my kids love the stories on this site. We use audio books a lot as I am blind and so can’t read as much as I would like with my kids. Natasha is certainly one of the best readers of kids’ stories I have come across. Thanks for such a wonderful site. My kids and I appreciate it.

  • Posted February 11, 2008 at 10:02 pm | Permalink

    Donna – Thanks you so much for letting us know. I do think that somebody who is blind is in a good position to judge audio books. Natasha isn’t always online to answer comments, but I do know that she really appreciates lovely comments like this.

    My children and I love your stories and your voice. We have been falling asleep to your words each night for the past 6 months.

    Putting together these stories and the website must have been a tremendous amount of work! I hope you are discovered by the entertainment industry and become the big celebrity to the rest of the world that you already are at our house!

    I love you:
    I’m from Russia. I have learnt English by myself for 5 years yet, but I’m still not very good at it. Earlier I tried to find audio-books on the Internet but for them I had to pay. It’s a problem for me. Recently, by tutoring a pupil, I tried again and I was glad to find so excellent narration. I felt it is a British Accent, but after going at this page I found I was right, and I also found you look nice as well. I hope you don’t only please us but have something for yourself.

    Best wishes.

Oh what a relief to have you for almost an year now and these days Aarnav doesn’t even let his IPOD move away when he is eating his breakfast, doing his class work, dinner and sleep time. Basically like Natasha, when he is not at school or playground he is with the stories. Thanks for that wonderful Indian story, hope you will do more of that series.

    Your voice is cho choweeet! and your narration is great. Love your work. Keep up the good work.

    Dear Lauren, Alice & Grace,

    Yes it is true that we have a new story every week,usually on Sunday.

    I know that everyone is excited about when I’m going to turn back into a Prince. But it’s one of those sagas that keeps going on and on…

    There will be another Bertie Story in the next few weeks, but I really don’t know when we will find out the end of the story.

    I’m sorry to keep you in suspense.

    You have a really pretty voice and I always wondered what you looked like. I don’t think you have to be young to enjoy your stories. You are a really good actress. My favorite voice that you immitate is Tim the Tadpole. You make his voice sound so cute! I think you can sound like anything or anybody! I hope to be as good as an actress as you are. You are my inspiration!

    I too have no children. I am 22, to be 23 March 27th and I have mild insomnia. My boyfriends would read me stories at night to help me fall asleep. Since I’ve discovered your podcast I no longer solicit them for a nighttime story, as I am usually so distracted with my own critique of their story-telling I often times find little in the way of rest after hearing a story from them. Your story-telling is much more melodic and soothing, I always find a good night’s rest after hearing one of your stories. Thank you so much. Please continue and good luck in your endeavors.

    Hi, folks at Storynory. My little girl Leah is 4 and has loved listening to Natasha read stories since we played Jack and the Beanstalk for her several months ago. Her favorite story is “The Three Sillies” — it gets played over and over again and keeps her laughing on long car trips on interstate highways. We’d just like to say thanks to all who help make the stories come to life.

  • Posted June 17, 2009 at 11:00 pm | Permalink

    Dear OJ, Twin, Etc.
    I can’t speak for Natasha, but I would like to say that the comment section on Storynory is a place to talk about stories – and it isn’t really the place to try and lure anyone into a religious discussion or to draw out their personal views and outlook. I hope you don’t mind. When somebody asked me the same question, I answered yes I am a Christian but we want this to be a site for everyone, whatever they believe or don’t believe, and I would like to add that we don’t have any political or religious agenda. We do have some stories here that reflect the christian tradition but we also want, overtime, to draw on all cultures.

    But also, OJ, thank you for your very nice comments about Natasha’s voice and your good wishes !

I love that you tell stories that are well rounded and from many cultures. They are always clean and Natasha really is talented. I also find it really cool that “Bertie” replies to comments, I had never seen that done before. It makes it all very personal.
    Pretty much, you tell great stories, old and new, with talented people all around. :) I have no complaints. The only reason I wanted to as Natasha bout God was that I think she would be a great person to have telling stories in Heaven, and I know she has done something for me and i wanted to return the favor. Thank you, all of you who make every aspect f this site possible.

    STORYNORY.COM in my opinion is

    the best there was….the best there is….and the best there ever will be….

    as far as online audiobooks is concerned.

    Natasha’s narrating skill is as epic as the stories she told. I’ve been listening to storynory since 2005 and it never cease to amaze me!!!!!

    We have been listening to Storynory from the very beginning.
    Natasha is a beautiful story teller.
    It’s excellent to see the success of this program. Last week we downloaded the Storynory app on the iphone. It’s great.
    My daughter Frances has become a real book fanatic and I think that has a lot to do with Storynory and Natasha’s captivating story telling.
    Thank you,
    Sarah

    Dear Sarah,

    Thank you so much for your comment. It’s wonderful if Natasha’s story telling has encouraged your daughter to read (Hope you don’t mind getting a reply from me, but I’m better at responding). Hope the iPhone app is convenient for you.

    I like the Birdie stories because they are fun and not scary because they all have Birdie the frog and Birdie the prince in it. And the Witch who lost her spell is my favorite.

    I hope you had a nice vacation, did you send any postcards, if we want to send you a postcard where would we send it?

    I love your stories Natasha they always are at the end of my day.
