Emily Norman is an Indigenous, award winning narrator with professional acting training and experience on stage, on screen and behind the mic. She’s narrated over 80 titles from her broadcast quality home studio, collaborating with many of the industry’s top publishers and producers.
She specializes in telling stories where she can wear her heart on her sleeve whether a character is falling in love, being chased down a dark alley or dealing with high school drama.
Origin Story
Her first clue that this was the job for her was in 5th grade when she couldn’t wait for her turn to read out loud in front of the class. It was Shakespeare. And yes, she did voices. She went on to earn degrees from Wheaton College in Philosophy and Vocal Performance (Opera), developing both a sharp eye for text analysis and a trained, musical ear that informs intuitive, nuanced narration. Along the way, she pursued acting through improv, acting technique, and numerous school and community theater productions, as well as independent films.
Identity and Passion
Some of Emily’s life experiences enable her to be a more connected, authentic storyteller. She’s Cherokee Native American and proud of that cultural heritage. She’s also a Christian and puts her whole heart into telling stories with elements of faith.
Her life has included a range of adventures, from world travel and tornado chasing to living abroad in England after marring a Brit.
Emily is passionate about bringing stories and their characters to life, approaching each one with empathy, honesty and heart.
