Lucinda was born in Washington DC but spent her childhood in a small town in Illinois. She is a classically trained actress and has a BFA in Drama (Acting Emphasis) from Carnegie-Mellon University. She has worked extensively with Shakespeare and has trained with Shakespeare & Company. Her work in theatre has been both on and off the stage: actor, vocal coach, stage manager, and director. She has also worked as a barista, elementary school teacher, and, as a mom, kid and cat wrangler.

She recorded her first audiobook in 1965 at the ripe old age of nine. That Christmas she received a reel-to-reel tape recorder and a copy of Edgar Allen Poe’s short stories. She spent the rest of her vacation recording (and re-recording) The Tell-Tale Heart—complete with sound effects.

She loves bringing stories to life through her narration and getting to play all the parts. Her favorite stories are mysteries with deeply hidden secrets. She also enjoys diving into romance as there is nothing like a 'happily ever after' ending. She loves narrating historical fiction, self-help, and thrillers.

When not in the booth, she enjoys taking walks in the neighborhood, playing games, cooking, attending live theatre, reading, and knitting. She is famous for her cherry pie.
