About this listen

Audie Award Finalist 2023, Christian Book Award - Finalist 2023!!!

Join Disney Legend Jodi Benson on a magical journey from a Midwestern town to the bright lights of Broadway and the recording booth where she brought one of the most beloved Disney princesses of all time to life!

A treasure trove of colorful characters and unforgettable anecdotes, Part of My World reads like a real-life fairy tale as a girl with a big voice and even bigger dreams sets out on the adventure of a lifetime. Along the way, Jodi shares lessons she's learned about faith, friendship, love, loss, taking chances, making mistakes, following God’s call, and chasing your dreams. In Part of My World you’ll come alongside Jodi as she

• struggles to find her footing in the rehearsal halls of Manhattan;

• finds (then loses, then marries) her prince charming;

• makes a splash on Broadway;

• gives voice to a feisty redheaded mermaid, a blonde bombshell named Barbie, and a Tony-nominated powerhouse named Polly; and

• searches for her own personal happily ever after.

Written with warmth, humor, and disarming vulnerability, Part of My World is a captivating glimpse behind the curtain at the making of one of the most celebrated animated movies of all time, and a must-listen for Disney fans of all ages.

I started reading and listening to Jodi's story at the same time since last year. After doing so four times, I have to write this down.

As a Disney fan, one of the films I watched growing up was The Little Mermaid and it was a great experience. Jodi Benson as Ariel is just phenomenal along with her fellow cast members as well as the songs. I also got to meet her at Comic Con Manchester two years ago. When I was there I have learned that she had written her book which I was lucky enough to pre-order after that. It did take me a while before I got at least one credit to get the audiobook though. But I managed to get it nonetheless. After the first read-through, I ended up watching The Little Mermaid. Second time was when I was on holiday after giving the book to my mum to read through it as well. This year, I read and listened to it when I needed guidance and on my fourth one, I read it to celebrate 35 years of the movie's release.

And you know what? The more I read the book and listened to Jodi's narration, the more honoured I felt. Both as a fan of Jodi Benson and The Little Mermaid AND the fact that I got to meet her. Can't wait to meet her again when I get the chance. Might even get the book signed too.

One of the best audiobooks I have ever listened to

Nearly finished. Never thought I could like Jodie Benson more. Turns out I can. The Little Mermaid was the first Disney film I ever seen was obsessed. So when I found this I had to listen.

Great listen

I have absolutely loved listening to Jodi’s incredible story here. She tells it so beautifully and her honesty is just so inspiring. I’ve truly felt blessed listening and hearing all God has done and, no doubt, will continue to do, in and through Jodi. Thank you Jodi for sharing such a ride. God bless you. Bethany

I loved this book and couldn’t stop listening to it. Made me feel sad sometimes because I don’t know how to live a live as amazing as Jodi’s and what could I be doing wrong. I’m grateful to have listened to it because it gave me a lot of insight on how to become a better person and how to let God take over my life, which I sometimes feel I keep messing up. Hope to find more stories like this
