Emma Sherr-Ziarko

Voice/Actor

Hi! I’m Emma (she/her), a classically trained American actor of Eastern European descent. I’m from New England, and began my career on stage, on film, and behind the microphone in New York City. I now live in the Land of Enchantment (Santa Fe, New Mexico), where I mostly do voice acting from my broadcast quality home studio. I am  happy to travel for work.

I am an actor, podcaster, streamer, educator, coach, and all- around nerd! I’m represented for voice acting by AB2 Talent in LA, and I’m available as an acting coach on SkillsHub. If you’d like to collaborate, feel free to reach out! Professional inquiries at emma@emmasherrziarko.com

TELEVISION

I am a classically trained stage actor and dancer, with a BA in Theater from Wesleyan University. I have been acting onstage since I was 5 years old, and performing Shakespeare since I was 9. Heightened text is my jam!

I trained at Shakespeare & Company in Lenox, Massachusetts, and I have extensive training in Linklater Voice Technique, stage combat, clown, and Lecoq mask work.

I’m also a trained dancer and singer, with experience in Modern Dance, Flamenco, West African dance, and Ballet. My vocal range is Alto to Mezzo-Soprano.
