About Me

Hi! I’m Tara Callaway—a dreamer, voice artist, storyteller, and eternal learner who believes that the right words, spoken with heart, can change someone’s life.

I came to audiobook narration by way of an unconventional (but wildly fulfilling) journey. For many years I have worked in the design industry, using creativity and empathy to design spaces where people could truly feel at home. But in 2021, a life-changing transition prompted me to pause and pour energy into my own healing—mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually. Books became my lifeline and my launchpad, helping me grow in ways I never imagined.

As I healed, I felt this strong pull to help others the way I’d been helped. And that’s when I realized—I could be the voice in someone’s ear, walking beside them as they grow, heal, and dream big, too.

I haven’t looked back since.

Today, I narrate audiobooks that empower, entertain, and inspire. I’m especially drawn to nonfiction, including self-help, psychology, parenting, philosophy, memoirs, and biographies. But I also love diving into fiction—especially sweet romance, suspense, women’s fiction, cozy fiction, magical realism (I love a good time traveling or parallel universe story!) and stories with smart, complex female leads. I’m passionate about telling stories that make people feel seen, understood, and uplifted.

I have a warm, rich, contralto voice with Midwestern roots, and my accent toolkit includes U.S. Southern, New York, British, and Irish. I’ve completed professional training through The Great Audiobook Adventure with Elise Arsenault and Acting for Audio with Joel Froomkin, and I’m always expanding my skills—because growth never stops.

Originally from Illinois, I now live in the Tampa, Florida area with my wonderful husband, our two amazing children, and our rescue pups. I’m a Disney Parks enthusiast, a proud 10+ year CrossFitter, an aspiring chef who would love to be on The Great British Bake Off, and a big believer in meaningful conversations over great coffee—especially by the water.

I’ve done a little bit of everything in life: Irish dancing, cartooning, writing, music. People fascinate me. Their stories fuel me. And through narration, I get to connect with listeners on a personal level—to entertain, encourage, and maybe even help someone rewrite their own story.

So whether it’s self-help or suspense, fiction or fact, I’m here to bring your words to life with heart, humor, and a whole lot of voice magic.
