Live Theatre- Broken Wide Open - story about when Shana's heart tried to explode in Ireland in 2019.

SHANA'S VOICE: EFFORTLESS, PROFESSIONAL

AND SHE'S A SEXY, WACKY,
MILLENNIAL MUPPET

Born into a family that loved literature, Shana grew up in Denver, Colorado with her novelist father and her librarian mother. At the tender age of five, she decided that this was the best age ever. She is still five-years old most of the time (real age not withstanding) and that is why Shana was ultimately drawn to the art of voice acting. With a successful 25-year career in musical theatre, Shana became a voice actor when she realized that she could spend more time with her family than she could on stage performing eight shows a week.

Shana studied theatre at Stephens College in Columbia, MO, toured internationally with the Missoula Children’s Theatre, studied abroad with the Tuscany Project in Prague and Roy Hart Theatre in France, and coached in VO with Mary Lynn Wissner, Dave Fennoy, Jeff Howell, Stephane Cornicard, Pat Fraley, Dave Walsh and Bob Bergen. Shana loves to keep learning. In reality, she’s ready to be in class well into her old age and beyond to just keep on getting better. If microphones are accessible in the after-life, she’ll be there.

Shana’s vocal style has amazing variety. She has been described as an “effortless” talent. She’s incredibly direct-able. You tell her to do it, and she does it. Shana’s belief that professional VO talent should be four things is at the core of her performances. You have to be an awesome person, then talented (in that order), then on-time, then lucky.

Shana’s clients hire her again and again. She’s fun to work with and is able to get you what you need quickly… and professionally.

PEOPLE ARE SAYING ...

“Everyone loved the promo! I’m sure we’ll be calling you in the future!”

- Megan Erb , Seattle Channel

“I am a fan of your performance on First Impressions: Last Intentions; book 1… Your performance of Claire in the first book provided me one of the most enjoyable listens I’ve ever had with an audiobook…thank you for bringing that awesome character to life!”

- Sincerely, a fan.
For “Dark Crossings” by RM Alexander:
“Shana Pennington-Baird as the narrator is wonderful she brings so much life to each character. It is easy to tell her males from her females as she creates and gives life to all that is around them. Her voices has even tones with just the right about of emotion for each that you know what they are feeling and where their thoughts are. There is no background noise and no breaks that you can tell. Here tones are even as if she read the book all at one setting. I have listened to a few from this narrator and have enjoyed every book she has narrated.”
For Veil of Secrecy by RM Alexander on Audible.com:
“The narrator Shana Pennington-Baird…did a great job of narrating. Her different voices added a lot to the audio… Would I listen to more by this narrator you can bet the bank I would. She really does have a smooth voice that pulls you in and holds you there, at times with your heart in your throat.”
“Great experience working with Shana. She nailed the delivery of the script right off the bat, and we ended up using the audition recording for the final piece. Refreshing to work with VO talent who pays close attention to script notes and direction. Highly recommend!”
- Dorian Warneck

“I love the personality and enthusiasm in your work and rave about it here at the Seattle Channel. I’ve been working in broadcasting many years and your voice work is easily a favorite.”

- Ralph Bevins , Seattle Channel

“I don’t usually like being a baked potato, but when a talent like Shana Pennington-Baird has a session where she just kinda does everything perfectly, I’m content to sit there like an animated spud and nod approvingly. GREAT job!”

- J Michael Collins
