Audiobooks

Silent Came the Monster by Amy Hill Hearth (Audiofile Magazine Earphones Award)
With narrator David Marantz at the mic, this fictionalization of a series of shark attacks off the New Jersey shore in 1916 is frightening and entertaining. Marantz's performance is ideal.

BIBI My Story by Benjamin Netanyahu 
The audio version also benefits from the performance of narrator David Marantz, whose clean, professional style complements Netanyahu's own delivery... Marantz is critical to the audiobook's success. [D.J.S. © AudioFile 2022]

The Mind Club by Daniel M Wagner, Kiurt Gray (Audiofile Magazine Earphones Award)
Narrator David Marantz elevates the message of this audiobook without calling attention to his outsized talent. His appealing tones and intellectual comfort with the material allow his phrasing to sound authentic, compassionate, and always in sync with the authors' themes. [T.W. Audiofile Magazine Published: AUGUST 2016]

Raising Stony Mayhall by Daryl Gregory, narrated by David Marantz (2011 Audible.com Zombie Book of the Year)
“The narration is the perfect tone, great balance of seriousness and lightness when it is called for. I would read more by the author and listen to more from the narrator.” - audible.com customer review
“He lent true emotion and authenticity to the characters.” - audible.com customer review

Men of War by Alexander Rose
Marantz ably keeps the listener's attention with a narration that is quite expressive. He makes the production seem more like a conversation, albeit one-way, directed at the individual listener, than a performance to a large audience. [M.T.F. Audiofile Magazine Published: JANUARY 2016]

The Cartographer of No Man’s Land: A Novel by P. S. Duffy
"With warm, precise tones, David Marantz narrates this fascinating story. . . . Subtle characterizations force listeners to pay careful attention to the changing scenes, the horrors of war, and the long discussions about life. Marantz steadily weaves the two plots together in this heartrending story of the war to end all wars." [M.B.K. © AudioFile 2014]

VO
Voiceover for Pharmaceutical Co. Interactive Installation: “I just wanted to thank you for a doing a great job!  You’re a true professional and we appreciate that.  We look forward to working with you again in the future.” -Sean Glonek, SRG Studios, NJ

Theater
Merchant of Venice (Shakespeare in the Parking Lot)
The plot is not as kind to Shylock. The eloquence of the language as delivered by Dave Marantz recognizes the same reality.  At the moment of Shylock’s ultimate humiliation, the audience in the parking lot gasped as one. - Raphael Badagliacca The FrontRowCenter Aug 8, 2016

Twelfth Night by Wm Shakepseare (Shakespeare in the Parking Lot)
Dave Marantz’s Malvolio gets some of the biggest laughs of the night. The uptight character’s misguided attempts at wooing were a highlight. - Amanda LaPergola (Theatre is Easy)

Home of the Great Pecan by Stephen Bittrich (The Drilling Company)
… is the most delightful new comedy I've seen in a long while. …. And through it all, Drilling Company stalwarts Dave Marantz and Dan Teachout, as Greeley and Ed respectively, provide a kind of glue holding the whole shebang together. - nytheatre.com Martin Denton

Atomic Farmgirl by C Denby Swanson (The Drilling Company)
Standout performances come from … David Marantz in a trio of smaller supporting roles. … exemplif[ies] the best of what this entire company has to offer: deeply felt three-dimensional performances full of nuance, subtlety, and heart-wrenching power. - nytheatre.com Michael Criscuolo

Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare (Shakespeare in the Parking Lot)
Marantz's Mercutio is a dope-smoking wise-ass, whose take on the Queen Mab speech evokes the scoundrel ramblings of a blowhard refugee from a 1970s Sidney Lumet movie. As always, - excellent. nytheatre.com Michael Criscuolo

Buried Child by Sam Shepard (Nicu’s Spoon)
Bradley (David Marantz in a bravura performance that goes from terrifying to hilarious in a matter of moments), - nytheatre.com Anthony Nelson
