Robert Petkoff was recently featured on Creators.spotify.com to discuss Star Trek Narration:
Robert Petkoff has narrated over 350 audiobooks, won 25+ Audiofile Earphones Awards, and is currently on stage in Moulin Rouge! The Musical. But ask him what he's most proud of, and he'll tell you about narrating Star Trek audiobooks—because he's a total Trek geek, and it shows.We sat down with Robert to talk about his journey from theatre to television to the recording booth, and how he became the voice of the Star Trek: Legacies trilogy and beyond. We dig into his legendary prep process—yes, the highlighters are real—and how he captures the essence of Kirk, Spock, and Pike without slipping into caricature. We also ask him the question every narrator dreads: What Treknobabble has actually defeated you?Robert talks about the difference between live Broadway energy and the focused intensity of the recording booth, working with Judi Dench in the West End, and why audiobooks deserve the same respect as stage and screen. And of course, we ask if he's ever been tempted to change a line because "Kirk wouldn't say that."If you want to know what it takes to become one of Trek's most trusted voices, this is the episode.Welcome aboard the Clonestar Podcast, where we explore the Star Trek universe through interviews, deep dives, and thoughtful conversation with the people behind the stories.
