Hi! I’m Carmen Denise! I have been narrating audiobooks since Feb 2025. I run a ranch down in Texas, and am passionate about partnering with authors to tell their incredible stories. I have an incredible husband and two boys all of whom constantly keep me on my toes so I spend large chunks of my day chasing around kids, dogs, and cows. I was a marketing director for about 10 years and finally decided to pursue my narration dream in the fall of 2024. After MUCH research, trial and error, and support from some amazing authors, I am proud to say that I have 10 audiobooks available, and more on the way! I have truly enjoyed the process of expanding my acting ability and can’t wait to continue that process to see where my skill is in another year! I am a member of PANA, and I’m so thankful for their opportunities to learn and further develop my skill as a narrator.

Originally Tim lived in the Midwest and went to college in Omaha. For 10+ years Tim worked in every aspect of the Construction Industry. Although he was very successful, this industry was not his true calling in life. His career shift found him after trying improv and taking VO classes. Out of all the genres of VO, Audiobooks & E-Learning then became two of Tim's greatest passions. When he's not in the studio talking to himself, you can find Tim and his Wife at the dog park or beach playing fetch with their boys Reggie and Oscar.

Hi! I’m Tiffany, an audiobook narrator and voice actor based in Milwaukee, WI. I enjoy learning and giving voice to others’ stories—real and imagined. In my day-to-day life I’m a lifelong Midwesterner; small dog mom; creative kid companion; avid bird and nature lover; True Crime podcast listener; live music goer; and late-diagnosed ADHDer who champions neurodiversity. A proud member of NAVA and PANA, I draw from a lifetime of performance, an expansive work and academic history, and my own innate sensibilities, to capture the nuance, subtlety, and emotion in a story. Above all, I aspire to make the creative journey an enjoyable, supportive, and epic adventure—like those beloved buddy quests.
