Andrew Ben Ari is a narrator, writer, producer, and the founder and head of the project Voice of Ben Ari. He specializes in the creation of audio content, literary and media projects, and in working with classical and contemporary literature in audio format.

He holds a higher education degree in Journalism (Faculty of Journalism). He began his professional career in the media industry, where over many years he participated in the development, production, and implementation of thousands of projects of various scales — from independent author-driven initiatives to complex media formats. He has extensive experience in audio and video production, text and editorial projects, as well as conceptual producing.

The main focus of his current professional activity is the development of the publishing and audio project Voice of Ben Ari, which is dedicated to the production of audiobooks, literary recordings, fairy tales, poetic and prose works. The project aims to popularize literature through high-quality, thoughtful, and contemporary audio presentation of texts, to preserve cultural heritage, and to adapt it for a modern audience.

As a narrator, Andrew Ben Ari works with works of Russian and world classical literature, paying particular attention to semantic accuracy, restrained intonation, and respect for the author’s original text. His approach is not based on theatrical interpretation, but on a clear and precise transmission of meaning, rhythm, and the internal logic of the literary work. His repertoire includes fairy tales, poems, short stories, fables, as well as philosophical and literary prose.

In addition to his literary work, Andrew Ben Ari is known as a traveler and independent anthropologist who explores cultural contexts, traditions, and the everyday life of various communities. This experience directly informs his work as a producer and narrator, shaping a broad humanistic perspective and a careful, attentive attitude toward language and meaning.

The Voice of Ben Ari project functions as a publishing and media platform that brings together audiobooks, author-led readings, and educational content. The project’s activities are aimed at developing a culture of listening, renewing interest in literature, and establishing a consistently high standard of audio production.

Andrew Ben Ari continues his active work in the field of media and audio literature, combining professional experience, journalistic training, and a cultural research–based approach.
