"Sara is your Storyteller: Sophisticated | Smooth | Smart"

Telling stories as a radio host, then as a costumed tour guide, I followed a career path into academia before my love of the literary pulled me back to the mic.

My voice has been described as sophisticated, smooth, and smart. I offer versatile audiobook narration, eLearning, and commercial voice over services to a diverse range of clients. My work is recorded in a professional home studio outside of Boston, MA

I am a member of SAG-AFTRA and the Audio Publishers Association.
