Emotion-Centered Audiobook Narration

Drama. I’ve always loved it. 

When I was a kid, I lost myself in the crushes and friendships of The Baby-Sitters Club and Sweet Valley High. Later, I found even more compelling drama in fantasy and romance novels.

Then I discovered acting, where I could truly be part of the dramatic stories I love. In a college production of Into the Woods, I adored playing the clever, emotional character of Little Red. Soon after that, I graduated from Grand Canyon University with a degree in theatre.

In 2021, I played Titania in A Midsummer Night’s Dream, embracing her unabashedly big feelings as she clashed with Oberon and fell in love with an ass.

As an independent author of romantic fantasy books, emotional scenes are my favorite to write. Fights? Making up? Making out? Bring it all on!

Audiobook narration pulls together my passions for books and performance. My love of emotional drama draws me to genres such as romance (sweet or steamy) and Young Adult/New Adult fantasy. Snarky heroines with heart are my specialty. 

I love developing distinctive voices, including for male characters, and voicing various accents, especially British (RP) and Texas or other Southern drawls. Listeners call my narration style “warm and approachable,” “expressive,” and “grounded, but with a sense of humor.”

When I’m not in my home studio or at my computer, I spend time with my family (spouse, two teenage kids, and a schnauzer), act in local theatres, and belt showtunes on karaoke stages. Hobbies such as sourdough baking, latte art, and knitting keep my creative juices flowing. I’m also passionate about mental health and the role therapy plays in helping me, a person with anxiety, remain joyful and whole.

Of course, I read—all the time—devouring books that are full of magic, romance … and drama.
