Description
About Finlay

I love language. I believe that words are music and music is paint and the canvas is our hearts and minds. I want to be the best friend you've never met but carry around inside your earbuds all day—who makes you feel and laugh and think and reads you to sleep at night. I've always felt like I was born in the wrong time and place, so I relish taking up residence in other times and places. Dragons and unicorns? Bring it. Kings and queens? Yes, please. Murder and kidnapping and heists (oh, my!)? Sign me up. I'm a classically trained actor/singer and a proud member of Actors Equity Association, with more than 2 ... more 0 years of professional experience from Shakespeare and Shaw to Stoppard and Sondheim. My voice has been described as crisp, engaging, youthful, and warm – and I especially love giving voice to anything with a historical bent (fiction, non-fiction, fantasy), self-development, and stories of empowered young people discovering who they are and finding their way in life. I have graduate-level training in Psychology and can speak with authority on alcoholism and autoimmune conditions. I've been a competitive gymnast, a teacher, played 6 musical instruments, and I am VERY passionate about yarn (knitting, crocheting... give me ALLLLL the yarn). I have an affinity for dialects, enjoy horseback riding, and I'm learning Swedish for fun (Nyckelpiga är kul att säga!). You can currently find me sassing it up as Ava in the sci-fi audio drama podcast Midnight Burger. Also: someone please tell Margaret Atwood that I'd narrate her books for free. less
