Sarah Coomes: Giving Voice to the Medical Medium
Sarah Coomes has performed in numerous comedic and dramatic roles; the kind you’d expect from an internationally successful actress. Interestingly, her voice is so emotional, resonant, and reassuring that it’s led to another type of acting work she never expected; the narration of audio books. While male actors like Orson Wells, Morgan Freeman, James Earl Jones, and the like have long been recognized for their vocal talents as narrators, Coomes has become a leading voice (no pun intended) in this arena. She has received Earphones Awards for her work on Frank Cottrell Boyce’s The Unforgotten Coat and Jonathan Auxier’s Sweep: The Story of a Girl and Her Monster as well as becoming a “go to” narrator for Audible and other leading audio book companies. She’s increasingly being utilized as the voice to present the audio book forms of massive selling books like Anthony Williams #1 New York Times Best Selling Series The Medical Medium-Audio Books. With ardent and vocal followers ranging from Robert De Niro and Sylvester Stallone to supermodel Miranda Kerr, Grammy-winner Pharrell Williams and world tennis champion Novak Djokovic, Anthony’s books have become some of the most influential of modern day; establishing Sarah’s work in their audio presentation as among the most similarly influential. With a range of audio books that spans youth fantasy to adult health and self-help, Coomes has been heard by almost every age range and interest group in the audio book market.
The author himself and Hay House publishing company asked Coomes to narrate a number of his books for the audio platform. While they were aware of her work with Brilliance Audio and Audible, Sarah concedes that she was not aware of the Medical Medium. She notes, “I grew up in a medical household where everything was about prescription drugs. My father is a wonderful doctor and my mother and incredible nurse. Even so, to have the opportunity to look at healing in a very different way was quite an exciting experience for me. I learned a great deal and truly enjoyed the process.” The books which Sarah narrated included: Medical Medium — Secrets Behind Chronic and Mystery Illness and How to Finally Heal, Medical Medium- Thyroid Healing: The Truth behind Hashimoto’s, Graves’, Insomnia, Hypothyroidism, Thyroid Nodules & Epstein-Barr, Medical Medium Liver Rescue — Answers to Eczema, Psoriasis, Diabetes, Strep, Acne, Gout, Bloating, Gallstones, Adrenal Stress, Fatigue, Fatty Liver, Weight Issues, SIBO & Autoimmune Disease, and Medical Medium Celery Juice — The Most Powerful Medicine of Our Time Healing Millions Worldwide.
Books which are medical in subject matter, even with the bent of this author’s spirit connection, might cause one to presume that the subject matter is mundane. Referring to the health issues of friends and herself, Sarah confirms, “The people who investigate these books are motivated to find out new ways of treating their own health. More and more gravity is given to the things that we eat and how it effects our bodies. It’s deeply interesting information. Whether you believe that Anthony Williams is a medical medium, there’s no doubt that he is sincere. It’s been an extraordinary experience narrating these books. A really eye opening experience and I love doing them!” When questioned about why she thinks she was chosen to narrate these books, Coomes communicates, “I think there’s something to my history and awards in the industry but to be honest…people say that I have quite a resonant voice; which the producer on the books says he loves hearing when I read the recipes. I have some natural physical attributes in my voice and as an actress, I’ve honed these to emote substantially on projects like this. Of course, there’s some positive results that are undeniable from the information in the book and this is not to be overlooked. I personally do the celery juice and it’s amazing. The fact that people love the way I read the recipes, that’s just a bonus for me.”
