Meg believes storytelling is about connection-connection between words and emotions, characters and choices, and ultimately, between listener and narrator.
She is a trained actor, with an MFA from SMU's professional actor training program. She has spent more than 20 years performing, teaching, and honing her craft. From Angels in America at the Dallas Theater Center to The Brother's Karamazov at Lincoln Center's Lab. Her theater background gives her narrations depth and authenticity that brings stories to life in the listener's imagination.
Her journey as a narrator started at home, where her two children provided the most influential and honest feedback- "Ohh, he is scaring me, Ma," and "that is not how she would sound, Mama! Do it again," -making them her first and most critical audience.
Growing up outside of Pittsburgh, Meg is a Steelers fan and does a wicked "Pittsburghese" accent. She loves cooking Italian cuisine - a passion that led her to write and perform a one-woman play called "aglio e olio (garlic and oil)" for more than three years, where she told stories while making a pasta meal that was then served to the audience, creating a full sensory experience.
Meg plays Mahjong and tennis (not at the same time...yet), enjoys crocheting and knitting, running in the woods, juggling, and reading while snuggled up with her pooch. She is an advocate for food allergy awareness, having navigated that journey with her son, and speaks openly about her experience with postpartum depression to support others facing similar challenges.
Her narration draws listeners in, inviting them to stay awhile, to share the journey together. She has narrated a wide range of genres including romance, thriller, children's lit, YA, fantasy and memoir, with cozy mystery next on her list. Meg's agility with dialects allows her to seamlessly weave characters of all ages and status, making each one feel as real as the story they inhabit.
As Maya Angelou said, "I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."
Meg records in a StudioBricks VO edition booth with a Neumann TLM 102 condenser microphone. She records in Pro Tools and Adobe Audition. Her booth is connected to Source Connect Standard.
