Kelli Tager
Voice Over Actor, Narrator
Several years ago, Kelli Tager discovered the world of voiceover and recently, audiobooks.
With audiobooks, Kelli can finally match her love of literature with her love of performing. A natural storyteller, she has complete control over the placement of her voice, allowing her to execute a wide range of characters.
Kelli is a narrator with years of theater experience. She started working professionally in theater before high school graduation and carried on, majoring in theater at UCLA. She spent her junior year abroad doing theater in England.. As she has always been a self-proclaimed Shakespeare geek, she fled the United States again to earn her Masters in Shakespeare Studies from the Shakespeare Institute in Stratford-Upon-Avon, UK. Upon her return to the States, Kelli began teaching children’s acting along with working in theater, film, and television. Kelli is a proud member of the APA.
