G33K Out: Petrea Burchard

Episode 41: Petrea Burchard

Petrea Burchard is an actor, author, audiobook narrator, and voiceover artist. We met at a writer’s group we both belong to, when Petrea did a presentation on audiobooks. As someone who listens to audiobooks when I have time in-between listening to podcasts, I was already intrigued. But when she said she was the original English voice of Ryoko from Tenchi Muyo, she had me hooked.

Petrea has written two books, has narrated the Westwick Witches mystery series, and has done both stage and screen, among other things. We talk about all of this, and more.
