Storytelling has always had a central place in my life. My mother read to me every day, and when family gathered we would sing old hymns and folk songs about love, hard times, and heaven's pearly gates. As a child, I would create characters with their own backstory and inner life, and spend hours acting out their adventures. Showchoir, community theater, dance, talent shows: it really did feel like all the world was a stage.

I've been bringing characters off the page and onto film for years as a model for my book-illustrator husband, J.K. Potter. Now, as a narrator, I get to use my storytelling skills to continue to be part of the great story telling tradition. My smooth tone and confident grasp of character and pacing help build the connection between the story and the listener.
