Shayr Guthrie - Audiobook Narrator

Experience bringing stories to life

Having voiced thousands of VO projects, over 75 audiobook titles and with more than 25 years of experience -

you can feel confident knowing you are in good hands. I'm an Atlanta based SAG-AFTRA voice talent,

who truly loves to collaborate and bring stories to life.

My favorite books to narrate are Middle Grade, Small Town Romance, YA, Suspense/Thrillers, Women's Fiction,

Cozy Mysteries, and Self Help.

I record everything from Arcade 160 Studios in Atlanta, GA - which I own with my audio engineer/narrator husband, Jimmy Guthrie. We have a fully isolated sound booth that is equipped with a Sennheiser MKH416 microphone, Behringer interface, and GarageBand as my DAW.

When I'm not in the booth, you can find me photographing weddings, events and headshots. You might also find me going a "little overboard" in decorating for the holidays. Ha! I go to yoga, walk our pup, travel, see bands (Jimmy is a musician), host dinner parties, garden and attend UGA Football games. Go DAWGS!

FUN FACT: We love GAMES! Recently my son and I were on the game show PICTIONARY and won! Recently, my husband AND daughter were both chosen to be on the SCRABBLE game show. They flew them to London - and of course I tagged along. It was another wonderful adventure!

"I can tell you first hand, that Shayr has the “get-it” factor."

"I’ve worked with Shayr for over 10 years, and recorded thousands of scripts with her."

"Shayr is, without a doubt, one of my favorite voice talents to work with."

"She doesn’t just read the words... she delivers the idea, the mood, and the message with complete clarity, without distractions, and without ego. I’ve sent her many scripts with my specific needs of how it should “feel”, and she always delivered: Soft, slow, fun, deliberate, urgent, an appeal, a directive, a demonstration, etc. She gets it!"

"I’ve worked with Shayr for over 10 years, and recorded thousands of scripts with her."

"She nails every take! And there have been multiple times I have a 30 second script, and needed it 1/2 a second faster, she gets it on the next take. She has a built-in stopwatch in her head!
I highly recommend her to anyone needing a world class voiceover!"
