About Zura Johnson
I am a narrator, voice actor and artistI found my way to the world of voice acting after receiving my MFA from the Old Globe Theatre/ USD in San Diego. After twenty plus years on stage and 10 years of commercial/ documentary/ corporate VO, Narrating Audiobooks feels like coming home. My preferred genres and SciFi/ Fantasy, and RomComAs well as Animation and Visio GamesI bring with me an extensive knowledge of accents, and a very keen ear for new ones. I have the character range of a true character actor. I can sing MezzoSoprano to Tenor… and I can voice characters in that same range. I am especially good with older characters and male characters. I also take direction exceeding well, and relish the idea of working on an audiobook with a director!I have lived all over the US as well as in Singapore for 5 years. Travel is one of my dearest loves! I have loved to travel since I went to the USSR when I was 10. I have 9 years of Russian language experience… at this point I would say I am conversational. Currently, I am living in TX with my husband and two kiddos, 3 cats and a dragon (bearded, that is)I have a home home studio. My DAW is Reaper, mic RODE NT1, and I have a Scarlett Focusrite interface, as well as Audient iD22
