About Marni Penning

I've been acting since I was 8 years old, and after a lifetime on stage & screen, I mostly live behind my mic in my broadcast-quality studio. I have over 180 books on Audible, and I'm a character voice & accent specialist for Graphic Audio, for whom I've done over 350 titles. I've also done over 400 articles for Curio and Apple News. Whether you need eLearning, explainer videos, medical narration, messaging systems, or straight commercial copy, my warm, rich, inviting voice will do the job.

Voice Over Testimonials

Marni has breathed life into the characters of FIRE GAMES exactly as I imagined them. I forgot to breathe in parts as I proofed the audio. I really felt like I was there, watching every tense moment. Those who love being read to (especially by a voice talent with major acting skills to boot) will not want to miss this!
