She lives in San Francisco. Greg D. Barnett has been acting, singing, and telling stories for his entire life, from performing on stage and in film, to teaching reading and writing to kids and kids at heart. Because of his years in the classroom, his narration has a youthful, engaging quality to it. With nearly 75 titles to his name, he's interested in lots of stories in a variety of genres, but is most drawn to the YA and middle-grade world. He also loves a good science-based non-fiction book, and is honored to tell the stories of his LGBTQIA+ community.

She particularly enjoys narrating books with big feelings, whether people are falling in love, being chased down a back alley, or braving the halls of their high school. She has a diverse acting background, including roles in theater, film, opera, and musical theater, and she enjoys bringing elements of all her training into her narration. With college degrees in philosophy and vocal performance, she has an eye for text analysis and an ear for giving a nuanced performance with distinct, authentic characters. When she's out of the booth, she's probably having a dance party in the kitchen with her four young kids or having a cuppa tea with her British husband.
