Shannon Parker Taing — Audiobook narrator

About

I am an audiobook narrator with an MFA in Acting from The American Conservatory Theater in San Francisco. I have trained in improv and sketch for nearly 8 years at UCBNY and performed on a house sketch team there. My performance background blends classical training with a strong foundation in comedy, character work, and storytelling. I specialize in projects that require accent work, have large ensemble casts, and require an emotionally grounded performance. I love to narrate fantasy, romance (all genres), black cat FMCs, plucky kitchen witches and historical fiction.
