Melissa Kay Benson Audiobook Narrator
“Sporty, spirited and undaunted. A sparkle of youth within the glow of maturity.”

Like most everything in New Orleans, Louisiana, I have a past. Well, let’s say “history.” I've been performing on stage, in the New Orleans area, for most of my life. This led me to audiobook narration where I particularly love the tension of a thriller, the intimacy of a memoir, and the educational aspect of nonfiction narration.

My educational background in medical massage therapy and intensive anatomical studies, including the performance of human dissections, lends itself well to medical narration with anatomical and biological terminology.

Finally, I am a passionate Masters CrossFit athlete. Nothing builds mental fortitude like tough physical training. I will go the distance with you.

Accent note: I can speak with a Louisiana accent from light Cajun, YAT to New Orleans. I am a quick study with accents for minor characters.

Equipment:
