Brief description: Stephanie Dillard holds a Master of Music degree from Westminster Choir College in Princeton, New Jersey, where she trained formally as an opera singer and choral conductor. However, her heart has always been in the world of theater, which is why she began narrating audiobooks from her studio in Tennessee. While she remains active in the world of live theater and music education, Stephanie now brings those talents to bear behind the mic to give a wide range of vocal colors and emotional nuance to her characters. When not in the booth, she can be found gardening, hiking, and camping with her husband and two young sons.
