A performer’s soul and a storyteller’s instinct
AEA • ASCAP • WGAE
With a career spanning Off-Broadway, regional theatre, television, radio, comedy, and improv, I bring a deep foundation in performance and a rich, grounded vocal quality to my narration. From warm and heartfelt to sharp and comedic, and with a strong command of dialects and vivid characters, I am equally at home narrating Literary or Gothic Fiction, YA, narrative non-fiction, Self-Help, or poetry. Additionally, through my many years as a teaching-artist specializing in theatre dance and tap dance, I have a comprehensive knowledge of American dance and theatre history and have particularly enjoyed sharing with students the stories of impactful but lesser known figures that history often overlooks. And as a daughter, spouse, and mother, life has called on me at different times to be a care-giver to family members contending with serious illness and ability-altering circumstances which has forged my connection to stories of caring, compassion, and navigating adversity.
I am also the co-creator of *The Chalks*, a satirical country band blending original music and comedy where I've existed for over 20 years as my alter-ego, Country Music Superstar Judeen Chalk. We've performed on TV, radio, in theatres, cabarets, and honky-tonks nationwide. Our music has aired on radio stations throughout the U.S. — and as far afield as Sweden, Belgium, and Guam.
When not behind the mic, I may be found dancing the mambo, playing the guitar, cajon, or washboard, or baking your favorite treat.
When words need personality, authenticity, and rhythm — that’s where I come in.
Let’s bring your project to life.
The narration captures the tone and emotion of the story beautifully.
Thank you for your wonderful work. - author Feliteous Martin

I loved the way you connected with the poems and delivered them so naturally from within. You gave a wonderful performance.
