Deconstructive Criticism Creators & Guests

An only child, Erin would entertain herself with a book of acting monologues and recording what was probably the world’s first podcast into her microcassette recorder which she carried around claiming it was for her novel ideas. It wasn’t until her 30s that she rediscovered her innate Leo need to be a star and she’d return home from her day job of film marketing to whisper sweet words like “Press 0 for the operator” into her brand new microphone for actual paying clients. This eventually led to the creation of her podcast SubverCity Transmit, an LGBT-friendly home for speculative fiction short stories which she co-produced, wrote, starred in, branded, and marketed.In addition to her now regular The NoSleep Podcast appearances, Erin has voiced several video game characters, audiobooks, eLearning courses and web series narrations. Her goal is to one day voice animatronic creatures at an amusement park.Besides voice acting, Erin also writes fiction and hunts ghosts.
