Hello, I'm Abigail! A lifelong artist and performer who found a love for music and acting as a child. I studied opera and choral conducting at the undergraduate level after having my interest in performance piqued by many roles in musical theater growing up.
After spending time studying acting in LA and performing both on stage & screen, I now get to do what I love from the comfort of my own home - telling stories using my voice. Transitioning from the world of theater to voice over & audiobook narration couldn't have felt more natural, as I have always been a book-worm, often caught hiding under my blankets with a book & flashlight when I was supposed to be asleep. I have recorded titles for Penguin Random House, HarperAudio, Hachette, Macmillan, Disney, Brilliance, Audible Studios, Spotify & Podium Entertainment among others...
I am a Northern California native, raised between the redwoods and the ocean. When not in my home studio, you can find me exploring the nearby forests with my toddler on my back, baking sourdough bread, fermenting everything in sight, sewing, running, gardening and hanging out with my giant black German Shepherd, black cat & seven chickens.

I am a NYC-based, classically-trained actor with 25+ years of stage experience who somehow amassed 60k TikTok followers. It started as a pandemic pivot when the theaters shut down, and work began to pour into my recording booth. Now, I’m an Audie-nominated audiobook narrator with 180+ titles under my belt. My narrations range between the-world-is-a-hard place (“AmyHutchins”) to heart opening stories (“Amelia Hugh”). My strengths lie in performing Literary Fiction, Thrillers, Historical Fiction, and Romantasy. I’m an accent & language nerd. I'm fluent in Spanish, conversational in Italian. Give me an accent, and I can learn it in three days. Give me a language, I’ll be conversational in a month. I live-stream my recording sessions (when granted permission) which draws new audiences to my authors and audiobooks. Whether immersing myself in an audiobook, a play, or foreign culture, I love the practice of putting myself in other people's shoes. At the heart of this is the human experience.
