Johanna Parker is an Audie Award and Earphones
Award–winning narrator. Since narrating her first audiobook for Recorded
Books in 2002, Johanna has received high praise for her work in all genres,
including the YA Mediator series by Meg Cabot, Earlene Fowler’s Bennie Harper mysteries,
and her portrayal of Sookie Stackhouse in Charlaine Harris’s Southern Vampire
books of which AudioFile has said, “Parker personifies Harris’s perky
Southern heroine, Sookie Stackhouse. Her splendid pacing allows listeners time to
absorb the action and emotions … listeners will be enthralled.”
Johanna received a BFA in acting from Boston University and
studied Shakespeare at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA) in
London. She has performed on stages in London, Los Angeles, Seattle, and
New York, and has numerous film and television credits. Now a sought-after
voiceover actress, Johanna has voiced commercials, video games, documentaries
and websites.
Johanna writes: “I love books. I loved them long
before I could read them myself and I will love them long past the time I can
only listen to them. Telling stories, in whatever way, has always been my
passion, and audiobook narration has become the unexpected niche where my love
of books and my love of storytelling come together in an incredible, inevitable
fusion. I get to play all the parts. I get to truly utilize my
training. And my hair can look like #@$%&!” |
