Mariana Olmeda arrives at narration through her love of YA, Romance and Dark Romance audiobooks. She was born and raised in Puerto Rico, eventually moving to Pennsylvania with her husband, where they now live with their two human kids and two feline children.
Her long love affair with books began at a very young age after reading Interview with a Vampire and loving the intricacies and complexities of these characters. Mariana's passion for books and knowledge propelled her to complete her MS in Library Science to pursue a career in librarianship.
Her knowledge and love for all of these amazing books drove her to share her passion for books with an online community of like-minded readers from all parts of the world. Through her librarian.lady social media accounts, Mariana discovered and connected with even more authors and creators. Her love of these stories that moved her and so many others grew into something unexpected after having completed a few voice over social media challenges.
With the help of authors who offered to provide their work, she began to practice and share openly her progress as an aspiring narrator. Apparently, practice does make perfect and authors began to request Mariana for their projects. Now pursuing narration projects in earnest, she continues to push forward, polishing her approach, developing new voices and accents, and building her production skills in a studio she shares with her husband who audio engineers her work.
