Meet the talented Andy Garcia

The founder, creative director, and talent of Bluebird Audio, LLC. I work with traditional publishers and indie authors to bring their audiobooks to life with dynamic storytelling. I am a SAG-AFTRA  Audiobook Narrator based in Kansas City specializing in YA,  Sweet Romance, LitFic, Sci-Fi/Fantasy, and Non-Fiction. I work from my StudioBricks OnePlus VO Edition professional home studio in Kansas City and have narrated over 50 books in the last few years.

I began listening to audiobooks in the early 2000s and have dreamed about becoming a Narrator for years. Inspired by other Narrators and my own life circumstances, I made the move into audiobooks in 2020.

I have a background in vocal performance, with a range from second soprano to low alto--singing in ensembles and choirs, as well as competitive monologue performance and long-form narration training. I completed Sean Pratt's intensive Non-Fiction program (#GingerYodaDojo) and received coaching from Shannon Parks, PJ Ochlan, Tanya Eby, Karen White, and Andi Arndt. Additionally, I've studied under renown acting coaches, participated in the Deyan Masterclass series, APA Speed Dating, APA DEI Mentorship program, and graduated from Elise Arsenault's programs: The Great Audiobook Adventure, Momentum Club, and Power Group.

Andy's Narration Journey

I'm all about spreading positivity, unleashing creativity, and keeping it real with integrity. Every story I bring to life is infused with optimism, and I pour my heart into crafting imaginative worlds that captivate listeners. Honesty and respect guide everything I do, ensuring that each project reflects my commitment to authenticity. Join me on a journey where storytelling becomes a powerful force for inspiration and connection.

Positivity, Creativity, Integrity

Fun Facts about Andy

As a "Jack of all Trades",  I have tons of random knowledge, making me excel on trivia teams! I'm an amateur historian of New Mexico in the Spanish Colonization era and an amateur genealogist. I love playing tabletop games, cards, and online gaming. In fact, my online gaming community is part of my support system and even joins as I narrate live on my private Discord server. I also narrate live on TikTok, Discord, and YouTube. I'm active on most social media platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, Clubhouse, LinkedIn, and Twitter, so please connect with me!

I have a diverse range of interests, from sports like volleyball and cheerleading (I was a college athlete), and a love for the NFL (#GoChiefs), to fishing, opera, and DIY crafting. In undergrad, I was part of Alpha Gamma Delta sorority and in grad school, I belonged to several honor societies. Embracing my individuality, I'm a proud Enneagram 7 ("The Enthusiast") and ESFP-a ("The Entertainer") on the MBTI. As an extrovert with boundless energy, I've never met a stranger, and I'm 100% genuinely and unapologetically myself, defying categorization.

I've had the privilege to have a diverse career background. After college, I worked as a Paralegal (because I grew up watching Law & Order and thought it would be like the show--which, to my surprise, it was not).  I then spent a couple of years working on Carnival Cruise Lines--which was a blast, followed by short career stunts as a wedding planner, caterer, and matchmaker. Additionally, I have vast experience working in conference organizing, sales, and eventually as a Director of B2B (Business Development)-- specializing in branding, marketing, and social media. Finally, I spent over a decade working as a licensed clinical mental health therapist and addictions counselor (where I worked in a variety of settings over the years including: prison, rehab, outpatient, psychiatric hospital, private practice, etc.).

Unbelievably engrossing tale!

This story was FLAWLESSLY narrated by Andy Garcia. She does a PHENOMENAL job performing each character to perfection! Her haunting voice only upped the ante on this beautifully wrought tale!!! Can’t wait for the next in the series!!!

Never have I been so glued
to an audiobook!

Andy Garcia was phenomenal as the narrator. She invoked all the emotion the author poured into this story. I cannot wait to dive into the remainder of the books in the series.

Great taste of what is to come!

Andy Garcia is Tinsley and she is fantastic! New to me, I was excited to hear a new adult voice that is realistic in its emotional pull, drawing me in and keeping me engaged. She easily transitions between characters with distinguishing voices and the performance is amazing!
