About Sanya

Sanya Simmons is a voice actor based in Atlanta with an authentic Southern accent—who can also bring out her inner New Yorker or a warm Caribbean Spanish accent when the role calls for it. Sanya is an Odyssey Award winning audiobook narrator, director, and a proud member of SAG-AFTRA, NAVA, APA, and PANA.

She’s a natural communicator and teacher at heart, with a talent for making complex ideas easy to understand and connect with. Sanya’s voice carries a bright, hopeful energy with a warm, grounded texture that resonates across genres.

Sanya has a deep love for social justice nonfiction and memoirs, especially those that center healing, activism, or music and sports. Intelligent humor is her jam—She’s drawn to rom-coms and cozy mysteries that sparkle with charm. Sanya’s rich alto range also lends itself beautifully to mystery and psychological thrillers. No matter the genre, she leads with compassion, insight, and humanity in every performance.

Sanya Simmons is also a musician (classical flute and voice) and the author of A Single Mom’s Guide to Raising Black (Gentle)Men. (Click the Author tab to find out more.)

Outside the booth, you’ll find Sanya watching tennis, football, or basketball (huge fan here)! When the weather’s warm, she’s bound to be spending time at the pool, ocean, or anywhere water can be found. Let’s tell stories that matter.

People Are Saying...

Simmons found warmth in my story *I* hadn’t even noticed was there.

ZZ Claybourne - Author

Sanya is an excellent narrator and a pleasure to work with. She is thoughtful, kind, and professional. She genuinely cares about the quality of her work, is open to feedback and direction, and takes the time to build lasting and meaningful relationships with the people in the organizations she works with. I highly recommend her for your next project.

Katherine Arnett
Audio Program Manager, North Atlantic Books

I love working with Sanya. Not only is she a talented voice artist who never fails to bring my characters to life, but her communication, professionalism and punctuality are impossible to fault.

L.M. - Author

Sanya is a fantastic narrator! Our authors have been 100% satisfied with every project she has completed for our publishing house. Sanya is very professional and communicates with our staff on expected completion dates. If we could duplicate her we would over and over again.

Chris Rutherford
Chief Production Officer, Page Publishing

Professionalism at its best! Sanya is in constant communication with our staff allowing us to set realistic expectations for our authors. She is a professional voice narrator in every aspect. We highly recommend Sanya as a narrator but not too much because we need her availability 🙂

Excellent job Sanya!! You sounded great and flowed beautifully  and it was a pleasure to work with you again 🙂

April Alvarez

Sanya is undoubtedly talented and her quality of work is phenomenal. Sanya puts so much care and detail  into every project she touches and it shows! I cannot wait to work with her again!
Kamala Garrett
Executive Producer, Tydef Studios

It was the most “Beautiful Reading” I’ve ever heard! I’m oh so grateful to you for making my story Sing! I loved Listening oh so much better than when writing or even as I read through it! The character dialect and interacting dialogue was all on point as it flowed effortlessly with all of your “Dignified” Scenic and Historical background Narration. I was overwhelmed by how well you read the entire book. Had me laughing, crying and bursting with pride at all the right times.

Hope Gregory (Pen Name for Gregory Hope Redden) - Author

Hi Sanya, I only got to hear the audio book today. What a great job you did–thank you for bringing Alex to life! You really nailed it, and I think the combination of Nathaniel and you together works brilliantly–there’s a contrast in your voices, obviously, but both are sympathetic to the story. How exciting!
