“It's like Betty White, but better. You did great, just what I needed. The first one gave me goosebumps. WELL DONE, my friend!! …Thank you!”
Todd M. (podcast promotion)
“It was an absolute pleasure working with such a talented, professional, and kind person as Susie! She gave a new life to character from our videogame. I can highly recommend cooperation with Susie to anyone who needs professional approach, very fast response time, recordings in excellent quality, and great atmosphere of collaboration. We have absolutely nothing to complain about. What's more, there was no need to re-record anything - the first version of the recordings provided by Susie was excellent! Thank you so much! We'd gladly work with her again in the future, and recommend you do as well!”
Nina Czarny (Frozen Way, S.A.)
“It was an absolute pleasure to work with Susie. She went above and beyond to make sure that the project was completed to the highest standard and she was pleasant and polite throughout. I would certainly recommend working with her for your audiobook narration needs!”
Christian Neale, AudiobookUK
“Susie is a consummate professional. After auditioning many voices for my audible book, she was the easy, and correct choice. Talented, flexible, and a joy to work with. Her voice styles (she has many different voice personalities) really helped the audio book grab the attention of the listener. I look forward to working with her on future projects.”
D.J. Busch (narration for children’s book)

About Susie
From a young age, I was captivated by voices, giving each animal in my stuffed animal collection its own distinct voice. This passion led me to the stage, where I performed in theaters and classrooms for years. After studying elementary education with a focus on performing arts, I taught for some time before transitioning to the non-profit sector.In 1997, I returned to school to get a masters degree in Literacy Education, and I found my true calling as an Elementary School Reading Specialist. For 25 years, I cherished encouraging my students to love reading and brought stories to life using expressive character voices. Alongside my career, I stayed connected to the arts, writing poetry and eventually returning to theater in 2007, where I performed extensively in musicals and plays throughout Northwest Connecticut.Performing on stage feels like home, and my expressive nature suits acting perfectly. This journey paved the way for me to become a voiceover talent. Additional training with Gravy for the Brain, The Great Voice Company, Edge Studio and an ACX Masterclass prepared me for another chapter in my life as a voiceover artist, and now I am able to voice more than the twenty-seven stuffed animals in a little girl's room.
With these skills honed, I'm thrilled to bring meaning and emotion to texts through my performances. The stage, teaching, a passion for literacy education and a love for the arts have all converged in my fulfilling career as a voiceover artist.
Over a decade of performance experience.
Acting has always been a part of my life. Being able to make an audience laugh, cry, or simply be entertained is one of the most gratifying talents a person can foster.
