Kate Burns
Voice Actor
I’m a left-handed, pop-singing Taurus.
¡Hola! One of my favorite clients called me “tremendously versatile” because I can nail the creative you’re looking for and, if you like, shore things up with my copyediting and production skills, making your project—and your life—so much easier.
From eLearning to corporate narration, I have lots of experience and can provide quick turnaround, usually same-day. My fondness for character voices and love of a great story naturally led me to audiobooks. From YA to murder mysteries, and historical fiction to romance, I get a thrill narrating (plus producing, editing, and mastering) both fiction and non-fiction.
Need a human voice that’s warm and engaging, upbeat and bright, smooth and sultry, or candid and authoritative? Take Deborah Harry’s advice and call me. A fluent Spanish speaker, I can seamlessly deliver your multiethnic campaigns and projects. I’m available for on-site work in Chicagoland, or can easily produce your creative in my professional ProTools & Source Connected home studio. And my travel rig is always at the ready.
If you want a professional who is responsive and flexible, and can turn projects around on a dime, I’m your one-woman band.
Let’s do it!

If we need to pickup days, weeks, or months later Kate can hear the original and give me an accurate match in tone and pace. Makes my job easy. Always happy to see Kate!”
