My Story

Nice to meet you...

Ever since she played Chicken Little at the age of 7 and realized that she could make people laugh, Linda has pursued a life of storytelling. From a television appearance on Dynasty to late nights on stage at her beloved Theatre of NOTE to running a 1400-seat Performing Arts Center, Linda’s journey in theatre arts has finally culminated in voiceover and audiobook narration.

Clients and authors that she has worked with have described her unique and memorable voice as “captivating, arresting, yet calming,” “youthful but with wisdom” and “simultaneously full of vulnerability and strength.” And. . . “most importantly, she delivered my story with heart and was a joy to work with!”

Whether it’s voicing a variety of canines in a Young Adult book or the fantasy world of vampires, elves, and pixies, Linda is most happy when bringing to life a wide variety of characters…human or not! Her love of accents led her to narrate a travel adventure book requiring many accents including British RP, American Southern, Spanish, Caribbean, Irish, Scottish and Mexican. She has also enjoyed recording Children’s books, Romance, Mystery and Thrillers, and Multi-cast projects.

When not recording, Linda loves traveling with her husband, playing with her rescue pup, knitting, gardening, and reading, reading, reading (which, of course, means listening to MANY audiobooks)!

what people are saying...

Linda Graves has a unique voice - perfect for everything from mice and Munchkins to a congressional staffer. She's the consummate professional: she prepares, delivers, and takes direction. We look forward to her talents in Season 2 of The Fina Mendoza Mysteries podcast.

—Kitty Felde, Author (The FINA MENDOZA Mysteries) and Book Club For Kids podcast creator

Beyond her skills as a narrator, as a business partner, I couldn’t have been happier working alongside Linda. She invests herself into aspects of the story that I had imagined only authors delve into. She becomes part creator, part assistant, and complete ally when diving into your project. Technically speaking, she is amazing. Her recordings are crisp, clear, and precise. Her handling of electronic files, and the various sites that manage them, is top-notch. I am never concerned in the least that something might break or become damaged in Linda’s hands. On top of it all, Linda has taught me quite a bit about the industry. She acts as a lighthouse on the horizon, guiding me,,, and all of her authors to safe harbor.

—David Shockley, Author (FATE Trilogy, This Dog's Afterlife)

Linda’s voice and her use of it portrayed femininity and fitness to my main protagonist, Meg Trumbo. Then she turned on a dime and became a troubled Portuguese heiress and a believable disgusting boat captain.

I discovered something else about my book. Yes, I knew there was excitement, sadness, happiness, and some humor. But Linda took it to the next level. It was everything that I hoped my print book and ebook put across to the readers. Linda made that clear. Sometimes, I cried, sometimes I had chills, and other times, I felt pride. My better half listened to a few chapters with me. He laughed, and he cried tears. It was fantastic.

Nan Prodan, Author (Forgotten Journey)

It was like I was hearing my story come to life in a way I hadn’t imagined was even possible. So true, so honest and so moving. Linda made my words come to life. Funny, since the story in question was about death. Linda made me feel Beata’s journey. Her beautiful reading of the character was full of unfettered truth, humor and heart.

It was a true marriage of the right actress and character. I was thrilled with her take on my story. I was honored and delighted.

—Michael Bonnabel, Author (Cul-de-Sac, short story)

Everyone loves a great story!
