I have been an actor, voice talent, and voice coach for over 25 years - voicing thousands of projects around the world for companies such as Macy's, Floor & Decor, Coca Cola, San Pellegrino, Ford, and Discovery Home Channel.
Having a love for books and audiobooks, becoming an audiobook narrator just made sense! I love it!!! It's so much fun to voice young, old, male, female, southern, western, British, and anything else we can dream up. :)
In addition to acting and voice overs, I love cooking and sharing the books that I've enjoyed, so I created a mini cooking show - Novel Recipes: Dishes inspired by books.
It brings me great joy to uplift authors,
narrators, and their stories. You can check out my blog here. https://shayrguthrie.com/blog
I started life in Kentucky, but at age 7, my parents divorced, and my mother moved us to Atlanta. She remarried a fella that took us all around the country - from Nashville to New Orleans, from California to New Jersey, and back to Atlanta again. This means I was in a different school almost every year of my life. I know what it's like to be "the new kid", so I always try to make people feel welcome and included. I've been around a lot of different folks, and have gathered a wealth of characters to draw from when narrating. :)
I got my HEA (yes, I love Romance) with my husband of 30 years, 2 children and our sweet pup, Rio. My husband, Jimmy and I are a match made in heaven because he's a sound engineer, and I'm a VO talent! We live in Atlanta, have a recording studio, Arcade 160 Studios, and provide sound for promos, films, podcasts, and music.
We live a pretty active life - from going to University of Georgia football games, to frequently walking up the street to neighbors houses for laughs and good cheer. We garden, we yoga, we hike, we bike through the city, we travel, and play board games. I'm also a photographer specializing in headshots, and families. https://www.shayrphotography.com/
"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."

"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

"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!"
