Former President Barack Obama narrates the English audiobook of his new memoir,
A Promised Land, but for the Spanish version, he called in reinforcements: 27-year-old Victor Sabi, a voiceover artist from the Dominican Republic.
In a new interview with Telemundo, Sabi said that he was shocked when he found out he had been selected to narrate the book from a pool of candidates from all around the world. He first heard about the confidential project in the summer and was told that there were very capable, talented voices on an international level, from the Caribbean and the U.S. and Latinoamerica, including the Dominican Republic planning to audition, but he decided to give it a shot. It paid off, and now he says he s happy and content to be able to have contributed my voice to the project.

Victor Sabi is getting used to voicing international icons. The 27-year-old Dominican man has been cast as the Spanish language voice in former President Barack Obama’s audiobook of his memoir,
A Promised Land.

Though he was very surprised, he adds that he is “happy and content to be able to have contributed my voice to the project.”
