Melissa Moats is no stranger to storytelling. As a professional voice actor, she's been playing with words for over two decades. Inspired by her toddler nieces and nephews who lived thousands of miles away, Melissa began writing and narrating stories for them to listen to at bedtime. Now those toddlers are all grown up and with their encouragement she is now sharing her stories with the world. Melissa has been heard on national television commercials for well-known household brands, she is the creator of The Voice Actors Studio, a voice acting school in Las Vegas, Nevada, and is known by children across the US as "The Reading Bear Lady" after teaming up with Wikipedia co-founder Dr. Larry Sanger as the on-screen talent and voice actor for Readingbear.org.
