Erin Grassie

Hello! I am a nonfiction, children’a & juvenile fiction audiobook narrator who also specializes in character work and narration for full cast productions all from my home studio in Oakland, CA.   My work over the past 8 years has been mainly full cast audiobook productions, asynchronously narrating and voicing a wide range of characters across more than 40 projects. I am drawn to the more dramatic/eccentric roles- bringing out the unexpected sides of a character, the humor, the subtle fears, the masked cruelty … be they human or not. I love humorous roles and shine in the caregiver role as mom, teacher or librarian.    My nonfiction style is warm and conversational with the tone of a trusted friend or teacher - someone who will be patient & kind, but not pull her punches. I’ve narrated business, memoir, self help, psychology, eduction, health and wellness, caregiving, and grief.   Middle grade and Juvenile fiction is my happy place ("Goosebumps #53 Chicken Chicken", "Toast of Destiny”). I also narrate horror ("Credenza" and frequent contributions to the horror podcast Tales to Terrify). I would love to explore romcoms and cozy mystery and read more poetry.    I grew up in the heart of Arizona's Sonoran Desert, but fell quickly in love with the vibrancy of California's Bay Area. I’m a mom, fandom fanatic, museum volunteer, and food truck enthusiast whose favorite color is piñata. I curl (think ice and stones), have a BS in Industrial Design, been a college radio DJ, driven a crane in the Port of Oakland, been a girl scout leader, worked on archeological digs, did a 4 year stint as a 6’4 green cougar elementary school mascot, love to work with children and will not hesitate to embarrass my family with funny voices, or snippets of song at all possible moments. With training from the Berkeley Repertory School of Theater in voice over, improv, acting and dialect (RP & American Southern), I have coached with nonfiction master Sean Pratt and Jesse Bickford and completed Joel Froomkin’s Acting for Audio 1 & 2, Narrator.life and PANA classes and an abundance of workshops and coaching.
