Chapter 1
Meet Your Next Audiobook Narrator
Introducing Dana:
I am a a self identified “Eater, Feeder, Creator.” Raised in a small town Iowa (Think: Corn, Not Potatoes). Being a first-generation Chinese-American, I often felt like an outsider at home and always knew adventure awaited me. I’m happy to say I have gone many adventure since then. I have lived in seven different metropolitan areas (and counting) in the US and it’s given me a lot of perspective and knowledge of regional culture.
I take this zest for adventure into my storytelling. As an audiobook narrator I love the way a book can be ingested through sound. It’s so fun applying my bubbly voice to YA and MG stories, and can’t wait to narrate more Thriller/Suspense and all things Romance. My favorite is voicing characters who are complex, resilient, a little messy, yet who always find their inner strength (because I totally relate). My two decades worth of creating on stage and screen has given me a lot of experience bringing a story to life. I use my voice to bring a compelling point of view to Memoir. As a host and spokesperson, I have an aptitude for bringing factual, medical, and technical jargon to life in a conversational and educational manner.
I am proficient in Cantonese and comfortable to voice Mandarin characters. Behind the scenes (or pages, if you will), I am working on honing accents such as Asian, German, RP, Scottish so I can bring worldly characters to life.
Can’t wait to dive into my next story, but until then you can find me on a pickleball court, or baking, or hanging out with my best friend, cheese, and counting the days until I can be on a lake jet skiing.
For the spicier side of things, tune into Ana Bee. 😉 💦
