CINDY PILLER

PLAYS IMPERFECT PEOPLE IN DIFFICULT SITUATIONS

Samples

Honest and appealing with a touch of grit,

Cindy captures a variety of characters and accents.

She is “narrator of choice”

for a variety of authors.

Independent, determined, and passionate about whatever she does, she’s run national award-winning educational programs, worked as an award-winning journalist and corporate trainer, and after-hours, she was on stage as an actor.

With technical training, narration coaching, and a professional home studio, her combined talents mesh to bring the words of multiple authors to life and garner regular 5-star performance reviews. She has worked with major publishers and is an ACX Approved Audiobook Producer. She has been reviewed in AudioFile Magazine.

Outside the booth, Cindy enjoys her family, music, travel, theater, movies, and walking while listening to audiobooks. She has given up gardening (never a talent) to read more books with her eyes, ears, mouth, and heart — always a joy.

Last year’s inaugural sail was incredible; this year was even better. Thanks to organizers Joel Froomkin and Rich Najuch for putting on such a splendid event! Already looking forward to the next one in April, 2026.

David & Cindy

The luxury of sharing tables with different attendees and industry honchos every night provided  fabulous networking with a variety of folks, opportunities to ask questions, share experiences, and become really well acquainted.

Miss Marple

Four dinner theme nights added fun and conversation. Dressing as our favorite literary characters was a big hit with unbelievably clever costumes and creativity. Joel Froomkin was an amazing Captain Cook. Because mysteries have been a favorite genre for Cindy Piller since childhood, Miss Marple was her choice.

Costa Maya Natives 2

Dialect coaching at Costa Maya? Not really, but it was fun.

“Although I knew about writing and Maya Goode knew about producing audio from her podcast, we didn’t know much about audiobooks or the audiobook market. We were looking for someone to partner with who could translate what we thought we had to a good listening experience. Cindy Piller is and has been the perfect partner for us, and we’re really happy we all found each other."

“Very much enjoying what Cindy Piller brought to the story. Her professionalism and flexibility were great. Really like the pace and rhythm she established. She did remarkably well with some of the more knotty sentences.
Color me impressed!”

Proofed the audiobook of Lars Emmerich’s “The Wrong” narrated by the amazing Cindy Piller. It’s a great book and she really pulls you into the story. I found myself totally immersed as I listened to her.”

“The reviewer agreed with me, that you were perfect for the story. I’m very glad I waited for you and was able to correctly ‘finish’ the story. Without your help, it wouldn’t have happened.”
