Voice Over &
Audiobook Narration

Full service Chicago-based professional recording and narration studio focused on compelling and creative storytelling.

Who We Are

Sweet Tone Sound is a professional voiceover recording and audio narration studio. We aim to turn every project into a memorable listening experience, whether voice acting narrators and characters for audiobooks and animation or delivering educational and marketing content. Our core values of integrity, continuous learning, and creativity guide us in all that we do.

Our Process and Commitment to You

At Sweet Tone Sound, we do all our voice over recording, editing, and mastering in-house. We realize that simply turning copy into audio isn’t enough. In collaboration with you, we make the text you’ve worked so hard to perfect come to life in another medium. We do not take your trust lightly, and we will earn it every time you (re)hire us.

Studio Setup

We work fast and smart out of our own professional studio. We record in a Studiobricks booth with a Universal Audio interface and an ever-evolving cast of mics. We utilize Logic Pro X with UA, Izotope, and Brainworx plugins for all of our audio editing and post production.

Contact Us

Please contact us with any questions, for custom quotes, audition requests, or availability. We look forward to hearing from you. Until then, keep it sweet!

HELLO, I’M MARNIE.
Meet Our Founder, Sweet Tone Herself

Marnie Sher, Sweet Tone Sound’s founder and principal voice over artist, has always been a lover of story and character. Growing up with an older sister and single mom who insisted on books and bikes over tv nurtured an environment of activity and imagination.

After graduating from college, Marnie’s interest in people and cultures led her to places as diverse as Syria, Brooklyn, and a Colorado ranch. Each broadened her world view. She went on to work professionally with a local theatre group and to study character and dialect at Second City. Years of singing, songwriting, performing and recording music honed her technical and artistic skills of timing, rhythm, and phrasing.

This range of experience and training informs Marnie’s ability to embody character with authenticity. Such strengths, coupled with tireless enthusiasm, make Marnie Sher an excellent storyteller.

Sweet Words from Our Customers

“Working with Marnie to create an unabridged audiobook of my historical novel, The Last Magdalene, has been a remarkable experience. Her talent as a narrator and insights into the heart of my story, as well as her postproduction expertise, has resulted in an audiobook of emotional intensity and authenticity far beyond my expectations.”

– Donna D Conrad, author The Last Magdalene: Book One of The Magdalene Chronicles

“Working with Marnie was a fantastic experience. She is talented, organized, professional, creative, communicative, and fully engaged. Our audiobook project is so much better because of her gentle guidance and inspiration. If you have an audio project that is dear to your heart, you want her to be your voice.”

– Brion Sprinsock and Kristine Albrecht, authors of Dahlias Seed to Bloom: The Dahlia Grower’s Companion

“Marnie has been wonderful to work with. I'm extremely happy with the work Marnie did for me on my audio book, and I would highly recommend her.”

– Jackie Guinn, author of For The Love of God: A Memoir

"Since bringing Marnie into this project as a partner, I’ve been continually astounded by the unprecedented level of conscientiousness and professionalism that permeates every second of Hollywoodland. Her skill as a voice artist and thespian are remarkable and I’d recommend her to any writer looking for an audiobook narrator."

– Robert Crawford, author of Hollywoodland and The Doll Maker
