Bio
Erin is a nonfiction audiobook narrator who also specializes in character work and narration for full cast productions and audio dramas, all from her home studio in Oakland, CA – the Sunny Side of the Bay.
​
Her work over the past 6 years has been mainly full cast productions, asynchronously narrating and voicing a wide range of characters across more than 40 projects. Erin is 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. She has recently expanded her character work to audio dramas.
​
She comes from a long line of teachers and preachers and narrating nonfiction is that for her. Erin loves teaching people about things, and crafting the way ideas come off a page so that the message pops and feels personal at the same time. Nerd. Let her teach you something or tell you about something great - all day.
​
With training from the Berkeley Repertory School of Theater in voice over, improv, acting and dialect - RP, French & German, Erin is currently coaching with nonfiction master Sean Pratt and has also completed Joel Froomkin’s Acting for Audio 1 & 2, Narrator.life and PANA classes and an abundance of workshops and coaching. She co-manages BANG! the Bay Area Narrator’s Group.
​
She is a mom, fandom fanatic and food truck enthusiast whose favorite color is piñata. Erin curls (think ice and stones) and has been a college radio DJ, driven a crane in the Port of Oakland and did a 4 year stint as a 6’4 green cougar mascot. Warm, wise, witty -serious fun.
Audible Listener
"What makes the book special is the compassionate way author Katie Duncan presents the information, and narrator Erin Grassie reads it... Grassie's gentle voice especially helps the reader ease into what could otherwise be an uncomfortable subject."
Laurie McMillan,
Author
"Your voice has so much personality, clarity, and also so soothing! [It] was everything we were looking for and more. We knew you were the perfect person to help little ones fall asleep.
Thanks again and yes your last little goodnight was a great addition."
Roxanne Howe-Murphy, EdD, Author
"I was looking for warm, welcoming, grounded and
open-hearted vocal qualities to convey the depth of the material in an accessible way to those new to the subject matter. Erin’s voice matched my needs beautifully.
She communicated descriptive and graphic text along with
story-telling.
I couldn’t have asked for more."
Tracy Cram Perkins, Author
"You have done such an incredible job. Thank you for being my co-pilot on this project. We are laughing and crying right along with you."
