ABOUT
No nonsense…but a little mischief.
Emma Sherr-Ziarko (she/her) is a powerhouse actor and consummate collaborator. A classically trained stage actor with a specialty in Shakespeare, her love of language and storytelling is what drew her to voice acting and voiceover over 10 years ago. Her voice is commanding, mature, and sharp, with a natural wit and dry humor. With a range that some have described as “limitless” and proficiency with a multitude of dialects and accents, she’s ready to bring her voice to your next project.
Emma is a legend in the Audio Fiction space, and is best known for playing Commander Minkowski on the Cult Hit Audio Drama Wolf 359, Kate Pryde in Marvel Move’s X-Men Series, the lead in a Ghostbusters VR Game, and Tessa in the Strata, for which she won the inaugural US OneVoice Award for Audio Drama (2025). She’s been in over 50 audio dramas, dozens of games, has voiced commercials and political ads, and has narrated everything from articles for Foreign Affairs to Romantasy Audiobooks. She has collaborated with individuals, companies, and clients on every continent except Antarctica from her broadcast quality home studio. Whatever you need, she’s up for the challenge, and would love to hear from you! Professional inquiries and audition requests may be sent to emma@emmasherrziarko.com or to her representation at CESD.
Emma is available for in-person work in New Mexico, Los Angeles, the UK, and beyond depending on project budget and scheduling.
