Who is the Noise Guy?

Charlie is part storyteller, part comedian. Kinda middle of the road.
He's a story-median!
Charlie Williams has been making noise in schools and libraries since he was a kid.

He's worked as a DJ, MC, Cartoonist, Storyteller and Children's Librarian.
He is now the Vocal Foley Effect Artist for Sound Safari Theater, an audio production company that creates children's albums and educational programs about onomatopoeia. He also writes, illustrates and performs noisy picture books!

What does he do? Sounds in Literature! Imagine the "Tortoise and the Hare" being told with the sounds of race cars roaring past, or Jack using a chain-saw to cut the Beanstalk down. He teaches everyone how to make some impressive sounds and how to use them productively! Onomatopoeia was never this fun!
