Laura hails from off-the-grid North Idaho, where she grew up in the woods practicing new voices every day with her golden retriever, Gabe (who rarely contributed input). She earned a BA in psychology and French at Grinnell College in Iowa, spent time in Boston, and then pivoted to pursuing her career in voice acting. Laura completed voiceover training at VoiceTrax SF and under private instruction from voice actor Doug Boyd in California. A decade later, she now records from home in Maine with her husband, Andrew, and Bernese mountain dog, Ilya. Laura loves watching stand-up comedy, eating tacos, romping around in the snow, and listening to true crime podcasts. She deeply dislikes audience participation, sauerkraut, and birds (unless they’re far away or on murals).
