About Emma

Emma Sherr-Ziarko (she/her) is an American classically trained stage actor whose love of performance drew her to voice acting over 10 years ago. She was born in New England to two classical musicians, so she was always drawn to the arts. She began performing onstage when she was 6 years old (she performed in her first Shakespeare play when she was 9, playing the Nurse in Romeo and Juliet). Always a bit of a Renaissance woman, she pursued dance and visual art, but ended up focusing on theatre. She earned a B.A. in Theatre from Wesleyan University, and trained at Shakespeare & Company in Lenox, Massachusetts.

While pursuing a stage career in New York City, she fell into voice acting through Audio Drama, when she was cast as Commander Minkowski in the cult hit audio fiction show Wolf 359. From there she never looked back, and pursued voice performance in video games, audio drama, animation, audiobooks, magazine narration, commercials, and more. She now has hundreds of credits to her name across genres, and has worked with clients, companies, and individuals on every continent except Antarctica!

She goes back and forth between Santa Fe, New Mexico and Los Angeles, and is available to travel for work. She’s of Jewish and Eastern European descent, speaks conversational Spanish, and is adept at numerous dialects. She occasionally writes and directs for various media, and is an acting coach (available to book through SkillsHub). She’s also a sommelier, DnD nerd, and mom to her fluffy cats, Queen and Kiki.
