"Jennifer provides a nuanced narration
that perfectly mirrors the character’s journey—gentle, compassionate, anxious, and full of joy...
Provides spot-on comedic relief."

Narration Samples

Storytelling has always had a central place in my life. My mother read to me every day, and when family gathered we would sing old songs about love, hard times, and heaven's pearly gates. As a child, I would create characters with their own backstory and inner life, spending hours acting out their adventures. Showchoir, community theater, dance, talent shows:
it really did feel like all the world was a stage.
​
And books...there were always books.
I've helped bring characters off the page for years as a model for my book-illustrator partner. Now, as a narrator, I continue to use my skills to be part of the great storytelling tradition. I bring an intimacy and vulnerability to the script, and my confident grasp of character and pacing help build the connection between the story and the listener.
​
I'm very happy to be a member of SAG-AFTRA, and to serve on the board of directors for PANA (Professional Audiobook Narrator's Association).
​
​I live in Oregon, and when not at the mic I can usually be found reading, drinking tea, metalsmithing, playing the mountain dulcimer, or sitting under a tree and daydreaming.​​​

The Business Trip
"There is Jennifer Pickens as Jasmine, the expertly portrayed woman who is desperate to have what she believes everyone else has."
A Sorceress Comes to Call
"Narrators Eliza Foss and Jennifer Pickens are almost hypnotic in their performances... Both share a sort of melodic, enchanting quality to their voices that felt custom-tailored to this novel. "
The Collected Regrets of Clover
"Performed by Jennifer Pickens, this listen exudes uplifting warmth."

I've worked with many indie authors to bring their stories off of the page and into audio. I would love to answer any questions you have about the production and distribution process. If you'd like to know more about how we can work together, please get in touch!!
"...I wanted to give a special thank you to Jennifer for lending her beautiful voice to this complicated character, and for, in the process, coming to understand the material at least as well as I do."
