—Howard Kissel in The Daily News on the NYC premiere
of the play Sonny DeRee's Life Flashes Before His Eyes
"Holter Graham (plays) a long-haired, chainsaw-wielding hit man...
The jokes are often very good, and (Graham) knows exactly how to put them across."
—Ben Brantley in The New York Times on the NYC premiere
of the play Sonny DeRee's Life Flashes Before His Eyes

"Holter Graham's use of a wide range of voices and emotions can't help but draw listeners in from the very first words...His ability to adapt his voice to the action is truly impressive."
—AudioFile on the audiobook of Stephen Frey's The Power Broker
"Holter Graham's authoritative, masculine tenor adds credence to this complex story...Graham seamlessly switches between Russian, Chinese, Israeli, and Middle Eastern accents, defining characters with tonal nuances, speech peculiarities, and sometimes deliberate impediments...Graham's depiction of events makes the story sound as if it's ripped from the pages of today's headlines."
—AudioFile on the audiobook of former U.S. Senator &
Secretary of Defense William S. Cohen's Dragon Fire
"Holter Graham recorded his first audiobook in 2004, Steven Sherrill's edgy Visit From the Drowned Girl...Only a year later, he received his first AudioFile Earphones Award for Lisa Gardner's Alone...Holter has recorded two of Stephen Frey's financial thrillers, The Protege and The Power Broker, and just finished work on the fourth in the series, The Successor. (Holter explains) he has 'that extra love of words that goes beyond just liking to say them.'"
