Available to hire
I’m Katy Burk, a versatile performer with years of stage, studio, and on-demand entertainment experience. From leading bands and producing karaoke nights to narrating audiobooks and performing in theatre, I bring energy, versatility, and a collaborative spirit to every project.
I love crafting character voices, learning new songs across genres, and bringing audiences together through live performance and storytelling. I’m currently pursuing a BS in Business Management at Capella University and adding formal training to my extensive stage background.
