HI, I’M ASHLEY ROSE KAPLAN.
But my friends call me Kappie.
I’m a voice over artist, actress of the stage, screen & sound booth, with a set of siren pipes to make you swoon, and an addiction to weaving stories with sound and words.
A plus size beauty queen nerd with a big allergy to perfume and spices, I'm basically that recluse with a bag of voices in the corner.
Audiobooks
Smooth Energetic Melodic Emotive
Originally a musical theatre triple threat from Long Island, NY, Ashley & her home studio are now located in Hertfordshire, England.
A bit of a kitchen witch/mermaid, when not working you can find her rattling DND dice, frantically knitting in between animes, hiking the British countryside, bench pressing, or studying something new - currently welcoming piano playing & the Scottish accent to the repertoire.

Native - New York, Long Island, Standard American, Jewish, RP British

Courting War
Ashley joins Christian Leatherman for their first project with The Audiobook Empire - a spicy enemies-to-lovers romance written by Hazel St. Lewis.
The number one rule: never make a deal with Death … even if you’re a god.
Incapable of falling in love, the villainous Goddess of War easily gives up the soul of her future true love. A good deal, in her opinion, until she realizes she may have been mistaken, and death always collects.
A New Adult Romantasy perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas, Carissa Broadbent, and Danielle L. Jensen.
