Having voiced thousands of VO projects and with more than 25 years of experience, you can feel confident your project is in good hands. I love collaborating and bringing 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 husband, Jimmy. We have a fully isolated sound booth that is equipped with a Sennheiser MKH416 microphone, Behringer interface, and Garage Band as my DAW.
When I'm not in the booth, you can find me photographing weddings and headshots. You might also find me going a "little overboard" in decorating for the holidays. I go to yoga, walk our pup, travel, see bands (my husband 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!

"Her ability to tune with the client’s needs makes my job much easier! But working with Shayr goes well beyond that. She is one of the most supportive, friendly people that I have the pleasure to work with, and every session is both enjoyable and professional at the same time."
~Annalisa Cazzola
Executive Producer

"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!"
~Curtis Elder
Video Producer/Editor

"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!"
