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 best known for playing Commander Minkowski on the Cult Hit Audio Drama Wolf 359, Kate Pryde in Marvel Move’s X-Men Series, and the lead in a Ghostbusters VR Game. She’s been in over 50 audio fiction shows, dozens of games, has voiced commercials and political ads, and she’s narrated everything from articles for Foreign Affairs to Romantasy Audiobooks. 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 work in New Mexico, Los Angeles, the UK, and beyond depending on project budget and scheduling.
