Allyson is an accomplished actor with a fun, versatile style. After earning her theatre degree, she began her career in Chicago. Working steadily for a variety of theatre companies, performing in gritty storefronts, children’s theatre and Shakespeare in the park. She continued her training at iO Chicago and The Second City Conservatory, where she studied and performed the art of improvisation. Allyson’s work is found on screen in Indie films, television and commercials. But even though Allyson has worked in many theatres and has appeared on screen, she is best known for her voice over work. Voicing projects for Boeing’s 787 Dreamliner, Reddi-wip, Kellogg’s, Tyson, Allstate, Macy’s, Ford and Navy Pier – plus hundreds more. Her professional background as a stage and voice over actor became a natural fit for audiobook narration and once she jumped in, she’s never looked back. As an award winning audiobook narrator, Allyson has a growing list of audiobook titles in a variety of genres for indie authors and publishers.
Allyson records in her home studio with punch and roll recording, a Warm Audio WA87 microphone (with pop screen and shock mount), Scarlett 2i2 interface, Mackie Mixer and Mogami cables. Her studio is also set up to record sessions with Source Connect and Zoom.
She is a member of SAG-AFTRA, PANA and the APA.
When not performing, Allyson enjoys watching true crime, the latest Bridgerton, anything funny, romantic and pretty much most quirky television shows – past or present, she can find. She treasures her time with family and friends, volunteering, and simply being in nature. Whether she’s dipping her toes in a faraway ocean or hiking through a forest, she loves the peace the outdoors brings her. Secretly, she hopes to find a wild creature wandering about because she’s never met an animal she didn’t love, especially a dog.
