About me

Hi, I’m Kris, audio book narrator, actor, voice actor, and writer. After discovering my singing voice in Jr. High choir, I continue to enjoy using my voice to amuse and inspire. I’ve impersonated a cat, a prince, a princess, a witch, a dragon, and a president with my voice. My experience includes narrating and producing over 50 audio books published to Audible. I narrate and produce an award-winning weekly storytelling podcast about life and befuddlement. A story from that podcast, Does This Happen to You, resulted in a nomination for outstanding storytelling best performance by SOVAS in 2017. Visit my IMDB page for stage, video game, and screen credits.

A specialist in bringing your business content to life with words, sound, and images. I narrate and produce audiobooks for upload to Audible, create, and produce podcasts, turn "dry as dust" blog topics into insightful articles with fun visuals or combine all of the above to produce a short commercial for your business.
