For anyone concerned with whom they are aligning their brand, I vote for democracy, support human rights and women's rights, believe in fact-based journalism and scientific inquiry.

Professional experience & training:

​

After graduating with a BFA in acting from the 4-year actor training program at Boston University, School for the Arts, I was hired as news & features reader for the English language department at international TV news broadcaster DW-TV in Berlin, Germany.

 

Since then, I've narrated hundreds of features and reportage, trailers and promos, given voice to an installation at MoMA in NYC, was among the first to voice the first Museum guide at the New Jewish Museum in Berlin, Liebeskind Annex, and was privileged to narrate the museum guide for the only permanent exhibition at the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles, The Garden. I have performed characters in TV and cinema release animated films and cartoons, been the voice on multiple museum guides, children's apps, documentaries and commercials.

 

I've even blown out my voice in video games - most notably in Call of Duty: Black Ops 3, as Sophia the lovelorn and snippy German AI ;-)

I speak accent-free German fluently and am comfortable working in an array of accents and dialects.

 

With 325 audiobooks on audible narrating as Christa Lewis and as Pippa Jayne, my clients are Audible Studios, Blackstone Audio, Brilliance Audio, Christian Audio, Dreamscape Media, Gildan Media, Hachette Book Group, Harper Audio, HighBridge Company, Macmillan Audio, Recorded Books, Simon & Schuster and Tantor Media as well as boutique audiobook publishers & independent authors.

 

Along the way there have been 8 magical Earphones Awards for narration and an Earphones award for directing, a SOVAS Voice Arts Award for audiobook narration, a Sultry Listener’s Award, a Listener's Choice Award and 2 Audie nominations.

 

My narrations have reached the Audible bestseller list in Mystery/Thriller, SciFi/Fantasy, Young Adult and Literary Fiction.

 

From the work that I have been privileged to do, my biggest takeaway is - it's always about the story.
