About

Abby Craden originates from New York but after many years on the West Coast, she now calls Los Angeles home. Ms. Craden has been performing and storytelling in all of its various forms for over thirty years.

She has recorded hundreds of audio books—winning two Earphones Awards and named "One of the Best Voices of 2012" by AudioFile Magazine. Her voice can be heard in national commercials, animation, video games and many TV shows and films.

On the stage, she is proud to have worked at some of the best classical companies in Los Angeles. Ms. Craden was a Resident Artist at A Noise Within for 20 years, as well as a long-standing company member of Will Geer's Theatricum Botanicum. She has worked in regional theatres in Portland, Palm Springs, Santa Fe and Santa Barbara.

Some of her favorite roles include Cleopatra in Shakespeare's Antony and Cleopatra, Abigail in Arthur Miller's The Crucible, Roxanne in Rostand's Cyrano de Bergerac, and Nina in Chekhov's The Seagull.

Ms. Craden directed her first full-length play in 2009—the West Coast premiere of Plastic Crystal at The Open Fist Theatre. Most recently, she directed a gender-reversed Romeo and Juliet at Theatre of NOTE in Hollywood as well as a remount at the Hollywood Fringe Festival.

Beyond her work in performance, her love for Yoga and voice work have found a unique coming together in her teaching and sharing of yoga and meditation. Her mission is to guide people to their own inspiration and self-love, and she hopes her words and teachings fulfill that.
