AUDIOBOOK Demos

I’m an L.A. based actor, a Japanese/European American, and a Marine Corp Brat. I trained in N.Y.C. (Stella Adler), Studied Shakespeare in London (Royal Academy of Dramatic Art), and have a degree in Classical Literature — not to mention a decade of bedtime story training as a nanny, where my critics were brutally honest and impossibly cute. 

My voice has been described as reassuring, soulful, and timeless. “A blanket that warms the soul on a cold winter’s night.”  As well as “playfully honest,” like “an Irish melody with an American accent.” Outside of the booth, I love woodburning art, enjoying a cup of Yorkshire Gold, and seeking coziness everyday. But once a Marine Brat, always a Marine Brat. I still get the itch to move every 3 years… Shifting the furniture or planning an adventure helps. 

Favorite genres to narrate are YA or Adult Fantasy, Cozy Mystery, Historical Romance, Female Driven Literary Fiction, and Sci-Fi. I’ve recently narrated for Penguin Random House, Harper Collins, Dreamscape Media, Graphic Audio, Pink Flamingo Audio, and Learning Ally. 

Special thank you to Elise Arsenault, the coach who’s helped make this all happen.
