My Journey
Ever since I was young, I knew I needed more than just the ordinary. I have a creative spirit, and have the urge to constantly improve my craft. I grew up in Nashville, Tennessee. I began performing in plays in elementary school, and continued my theatre education all the way through college. I attended Middle Tennessee State University, where I studied theatre and dance. After college, I performed in regional theatre, with favorites including Tweetsie Railroad and Tecumseh! Outdoor Drama. Eventually, I found myself needing a more permanent residence, so I made my way to Chicago, which became my home for seven years. While in Chicago, I worked in commercial, film, children’s and musical theatre, stage combat, intimacy direction, and voiceover. Then…the pandemic hit.
My creative endeavors were on hold, and I made my way back to Tennessee, eventually landing in Chattanooga. However, with this time to stop and reflect, I discovered where my passions truly lie, voiceover. I began studying with On the Mic Training, and honed my skill in commercial narration, audiobook narration, video games, and animation. Not only did I began studying voiceover, but I also grew my skills in intimacy direction, studying with Theatrical Intimacy Education. When I was a kid, all I wanted to be was an actor. Now, as an adult, I am please to identify as so much more. My name is Rachel Craig, and I am a voiceover artist, intimacy director, director, dancer, singer, and of course, actor.
