Emilynn Ler Derna is a North American audiobook narrator, voice-over artist, and classically trained singer whose work blends vocal control, emotional nuance, and grounded storytelling. With formal training in classical vocal performance at Mohawk College and years of choral experience as a section lead, she brings disciplined breath control and tonal flexibility to every narration.

Her vocal range spans from first bass to second alto, allowing her to move comfortably across character types and narrative registers. This versatility supports projects ranging from intimate, reflective literary fiction to character-driven storytelling and educational narration.

Her general North American accent and adaptable voice age range — from child through senior — make her suitable for a broad spectrum of projects.

For Before Your Dream, Emilynn narrates titles such as The Bell That Rings at Dusk and The Old Boat in the Orchard, where her calm pacing and attentive delivery support the series’ contemplative, slow-reading atmosphere. Her performances emphasize clarity, warmth, and emotional steadiness — qualities essential for reflective bedtime fiction.

She approaches each project with professionalism and creative engagement, balancing technical precision with an intuitive sense of story rhythm.
