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.

I like your English story, which was download from the Internet by my lovely Dad. He want to help me keep my English level through listening your funny stroy because our family renturn to China recently. Thanks a lot for you kindness!
Josie (9) and Louisa (5) from Portland, Oregon say, “Natasha, you are really lovely! We listen to you all the time and it’s fun to see what you look like!”
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
Thank you for the tales!
You help me to improve my english!
Thank you
Natasha, you are a truely wonderful woman. your voice is real and you bring so mutch life into the charicters and to storynory. Ask anyone from storynory, the would be lost with out you.
sorry THEY would be lost with out you
Your voice is as pretty as you!!!!!
Natasha you are really a true heroine in story telling!You are no.1 compared to everyone in the world for story telling.
Thank you for telling me all these
wonderful stories.
I wouldn’t have anything to do after school other than doing homework if you didn’t tell these stories.
Sincerely,
Claylish
You tell good stories, and I like your voice. I wish I could meet you in person. Was Bertie really a prince? I’m in Kindergarten and I’m six years old.
I like Rikki Tikki Tavi and Halloween on the Pond because Rikki Tikki has a war laugh, Rikk Tikk Tikka Tikka Chikkh, and Halloween on the Pond because it has my name in it, Hal. I’m in first grade and I’m six years old.
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.
Clara thank you for you kind comment. We think Natasha is the best storyteller too.

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 loooooooooooooove your stories!
I’m 18 & I still listen to your stories , cos your voice is amazing & I’m a Chinese. So I learn English by your stories. It’s fun, hope you bring more stories for us . & you look beautuful . LOL .
I want to read your stories
Hmmmm…..I love your voice n your story!
(suaramu seindah wajahmu, semoga seindah juga budi pekertimu)
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 Bertie,
May I know why when we leave comments on this page Natasha will not reply???
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.
Ok Bertie and thanks anyway.I left some comments in the stories Holloween on the pond and you did not reply maybe you can have a look and reply me thank you.
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.
Ben (4) and Owen (2) in Boston, Massachusetts, USA
Dear Natasha,
I am atecher of english. In our country we teach english as a second languge,I found your stories very helpful for our students in learning listening skills.

My Charlotte (6) and Simon (4) LOVE you! Charlotte just saw your picture recently and said that you’re as pretty as your voice. I agree with her.
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.
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.
Your voice is very wonderfull. it has multi tones.
It has solid attraction towards it. I like your stories very much. Thank you.
thank you so much for the interesting ways you tell your stories!!!!!!!!i will now be able to win the inter-school storytelling competition~!!!!!!!thanks once again
You just too sweet
Dear Natasha,
We love you, and we love your story-nories. XO
Love, Max, age 3 and a half (preschool) and Toby, age 6, (kindergarten).
Dear Natasha,
we love your storys and we love to hear them so so so and so much

You Rock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!See Yah
Hi Natasha,I listened to Another story tonight!
u rock bye bye!
My gosh your voice has a good flavor. My skin has a good flavor to it taste I don’t know like a Candy Cane I guess thats why my mom named that but how does she know though did she lick me
How come no one else has mentioned that you look a lot like American actress Angelina Jolie? You are gorgeous and obviously so talented and intelligent.
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!
It’s very nice.. Thank you…
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.

Hi,
My son Aarnav (4 1/2) and me are your fans. 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.
Cheers!
Krish & Aarnav
Fremont, Califoria.
Dear Krish & Aarnav – we are so pleased that you like our stories so much. We are planning more Indian stories – and they will be something a bit more ambitious than usual – but they are going to take a little while to get ready.
hello Bertie,
Tonight I listened to 7 of your stories(most of them were new).Bertie? will you please ask Natasha when the next Prince Bertie the Frog story is coming out.since Bertie’s Double came out I’ve been dying to here the next one! They are getting so much more exiting!
Thank you so much,
Lauren
Dear Lauren
I’m so please that you like the Bertie Stories. There will be another Bertie Story soon. We’re just working on it. But we can’t say exactly when it will be until it’s ready.
Hi Lauren
By the way, the next Bertie Story will be called Bertie and the Lion and I think it will be ready within the next two weeks.
thank you so much for telling me i just herd to it and i think its great.
good job!
hi Bertie
I’m really interested in princess Beatrice and you turning into a frog so i don’t want to be nosey but i would love to know when the next Bertie and Beatrice will be out
Dear Lauren
sorry to keep you waiting. I am not quite sure yet when the next episode of Bertie and Beatrice will be. We thought we might feature one of the other creatures first like Tim or Colin.
Many Thanks for your super story telling, My Five year old son will not go to sleep until he hears your voice reading one of your stories,
Tonight he has decided that I should marry you ! For him thats a big step as when or if I were to remarry it was always to be one of Dr Who’s companions.
The wonderful mind of a young child.
Natasha, I’m 9 years old and my sister Maya is 6, we love to listen to Storynory on the way to school. My dad has all your stories in his iPod and we listen to them in his car. We live in Minsk, Belarus and we might be the only once who listen to your stories here…
Thank you very much,
Yan

Bye Bertie!

from Lauren,Alice & Grace
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.
your voice is very interesting. I use it to teach my students in the classroom. they are very interested with it. i do hope that i could get your email address.keep doing your great work Natasya.
i love voice and stories
thanks for letting us know!
bye
Natasha, I love you and your stories! Thank you for making my bedtime stories so much fun!
Hallo,
I didn´t like to learn english.
But the stories spokened by Bertie are very nice. In this time I like to learn english.
Tom, Czech
Natasha!
Thank you very much for your work and this site. Now I have a possibility to improve my language listening these stories.
Irinka
i just listened to the robin red breast one, its really good but very sad.
Could you let me know if I could use your site on my site??? I love this site and Natasha is awesome. Bertie, I think that you should have a story about Sadie the Swan because you don’t have one about her!!! And so do my brother and sister!!! Keep it up!!! Reply!!!
I love storynory! I listen to it every night on my ipod when im going to sleep. Natasha, you rule!
Wow, I wanted to know what you looked like.Ribbit.
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!
Your beautiful voice has accompanied me for so long!! thank you
My daughter enjoy your stories so much. She started to listen your stories when she was 4 years old.
My 2 year old gets read a book each night then wants to listen to you tell her some stories. She finds it hard to go to sleep without you. Thanks for such a wonderful resource
wow amazing
good job

i love you natasha
natasha you are so pretty
I’m 17 year-old female from Egypt, i know that i’m too old for your stories but i really enjoy them and they help me in improving my English pronunciation..Thank you so much for telling the stories in such an interesting way. (By the way, early in the comments someone who says he is Iranian and his name is Shahram insulted the islamic religion with no reason! I hope you erase his comment) KEEP GOING Storynory, you ROCK!!
Hi Distant one,
We are never too old for Stories !
Hi Distant One, I’ve removed the comment that you mentioned.

This website is very useful for my class! My daughters love to listen to your stories too. Awesome. Thank you very much, Natasha!
i am 7 years old and live in nj in usa. I love you and your stories. my favorite was the story about the sillies. thank you for your podcast
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.
I was only wondering.. Do you know if there will be another writing contest soon?
Just wondering
THANKX
Sabrina G.
Hi Sabrina, We haven’t plans right now, but perhaps…
Thankxx I think your in a diffrent time zone because your post is in the future for me!!
Sabrinia
Sabrina we are GMT !
Oh hello bertie!
nice to meet you one more time!
These days I have been surfing your utterly wonderous stories!
Im wondering…If you could…
Just add a few stories in it.
Because I loved your stories soo much that I finish everything!
oh please put a few more!
Natasha is a good speaker and may I know some of her movies?
Limin
hi i love these stories, there great !! don’t ever quit this job your awesome
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.
I think you have a wonderful voice, Natasha. I really like the way you read Cercie the beautiful witch. I can’t wait to hear more of your stories and I hope I will listen to more at school since we are doing Greek Myths.
Natasha- (it’s really weird to address someone who has the same name as you) You have a wonderfully melodic voice. I love the stories, and the Astropup story is my favorite because you do such a good job with those.
~Natasha
Ginger, age 3 and a half, wants Natasha to know her voice is so pretty. “Your stories help me go to sleep. Daddy puts them on for me. And, my favorites are the zoo one, and Jack and the Beanstock. We liked seeing your picture. You are pretty.”
Hi Ginger, thanks for saying that to Natasha. We’re really glad that you like our stories and you are so young ! Sleep well.
Hey natasha your voice is very sweet,nice and beautiful
Dear Bertie,
Tonight we came onto your site and Ginger said, “Let’s look at what we wrote to Natasha.” And so we went back to the page and I re-read her post outloud and then I noticed that you wrote back to us! Ginger was SOOO excited! Thank you. We just love story nory!
Dear Ginger, I’m glad you saw that I wrote back. I can’t write back to every comment always, but I try to keep up with the ones that have questions.
dear natasha,
when bertie turns back into a prince, do you think he will still be friends with the podlife? i hope so. will you ask him for me please?
sincerley,
andi, who is 8 years old
p.s i really like your voice, your voice, the stories yo tell help me go to sleep.
Hi Natasha,
We like coming to this part of the website to see your picture. We love you. We love your picture. We love your voice too. Last night I listened to a new one, the ghost girl. It was good. Even though there was no pictures, I could see her in my eyes long (note from parent: I think this means imagining).
good bye, from Ginger & mommy
dear Natasha,
your way of telling a story is splendid.Simply awesome!
thank you my dear natasha

Hi bertie…
I have already asked this question but if only i could ask again that would be nice. I have been here quite a few times since i have discovered storynory and have been wondering if perhaps you could hold another writing contest about spring and or summer. Maybe even fall. I would love to write for the contest so if and or when there is a contest please tell me.
thanx
Sabrinia

Hello! I think your storys are GREAT!
I listen to them on my MP3 player!
Hello again,
sorry, I forgot to say that I think that the tick tock turckey storys are excellent!
Dear Natasha,
Thank you for reading these lovely stories. They bring back so much nostalgic memories. I listen to these stories while I work to cheer myself up so i don’t feel as stressed.
Thank you again.
Sincerely,
Faye
hello natasha, i would like to say Tashidelek to you because i m tibetan and it means goodluck.i have been listing to your stories such a long time and i found it so wonderful.it’s really so helpful for me as an english learner.here i m writing a paragraph to express my gratitude.
just wondering but, Natasha, do u belive in God, the one who died on the cross? i do,so please answer.
I am proud of your question Twin! I was thinking of asking it but wasn’t sure how to. I have been commenting about God’s blessings of such a voice to Natasha though. God bless!
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 am glad you guys are really being polite. And it is great that this site is geared for all children. I wouldn’t like the site otherwise. 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.
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.
Pretty much, you tell great stories, old and new, with talented people all around.
Dear OJ many thanks for your very kind reply and your lovely comments.
Natasha, I really need to talk to you.
bertie when will natasha tell a story that you turned back to a prince
Hello Tim, Maybe not for a while because it would be difficult to top that story.
bertie i love your website
Hi Faye
You’re more than welcome. I agree that particularly children’s stories are really evocative of the younger years of our life. I also like listening to radio and drama to relax, I think its great for this. Thank so much for sharing your thoughts with us.
Best wishes
Natasha
YOU ARE GREAT NATASHA.MY 8 YEAR OLD SON JULIAN HAS PROBLEMS OF READING BY HIMSELF ,BUT HE ENJOY LISTENING AND FOLLOW THE STORIES READ BY YOU. THANKS A LOT FROM THE BEUTIFUL ISLAND OF MALTA.
bertie what is it like to be a prince

I don’t like to listen to the scary ones. But I really like all the Bertie ones. Lately I’ve been listening to nightime songs before bed, but tonight it’s a treat to have a “natasha” [story].
This summer I learned how to swim. Do you know how to swim? Do you have a fair where you live (carnival)?
I hope you are having a nice summer.
ginger – age 4

You have such a lovely voice! thankyou so much for taking the time to read these stories, My sisters have enjoyed them so much.

I even read the Harry Potter siries now, which I didn’t read in USA. Your voice is so soothing and good to hear.
Thank you so much for this site.
All the best,
Michelle
Thank you so much Natasha,
I’m downloading your stories
for my Students in Korea.
You have such a lovely voice,
and accurate pronunciation.
Hello Natasha,
I absolutely love your readings of Alice in Wonderland. I wondered if you were planning on reading more from Through the Looking Glass? I wish you would. Thank you for all that you do!
Dear Natasha,
I am at my grandparents house in Boston visiting. My dad says I have never been up so late because I am on San Francisco time.
I love listening to your voice and lovely stories. They help me sleep when I am in a new place. My favorite ones are the witch stories. I think they are fun not scary. The Witch stories are my absolute favorite!
Love Ginger (4 years old).
I love your stories, they bring back so many memories when I was young. I think I enjoy them as much now @ 55 as I did @ 5. Thank you very much… Bryan USA

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.
