Mia Hutchinson-Shaw

Actor & Audiobook Narrator 

I love an adventure. On the page and off.

From a dual state childhood, to boarding school at Interlochen Arts Academy, to moving abroad at 19 to attend the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, to dodging rats and hunting for thrift store holy grails in NYC for 11 years. Now 150+ Audiobooks and countless theater collaborations later, I’m still getting into mischief.  

Professionally, my work has taken me to Off Broadway, regionally to Cincinnati Playhouse on the Park and Virginia Shakespeare Festival. I’ve narrated audiobooks featured as New York Times, USA Today, and Indie Booksellers Bestsellers. My frequent publishing partners include Penguin Random House, Harper Collins, Simon & Schuster, Macmillan, and Hachette. I am a Booklist Editors' Choice Award Winner and a Kirkus Audiobook Review “BEST OF 2025” winner.

About

Mia Hutchinson-Shaw

Actor & Audiobook Narrator 

AEA & SAG-AFTRA

5’3” & Based in NYC

On the page & stage I am known for the kind of character who is:

  • a silly goose, odd duck who just can’t shut up

  • the gal that smiles through her tears

  • a gal fighting her inner (or actual) demons

But as Mia you can expect: 

  • an introvert who loves to host

  • a bluestocking for all things storytelling 

  • a colorful clothing enthusiast.

About

In the rehearsal room and behind the mic, the heart of my work is character. With my background in Lecoq, Clown, and Shakespeare I love to follow language like a map, hoping it will lead me to performances rich in stupidity and tenderness.

My favorite kind of projects — romps or hyper realistic — have a long prep period complete with music playlists, movie/TV references, and stewing in inspiration before heading to a collaboration rich rehearsal room.

  • "Hutchinson-Shaw’s narration and pacing will make listeners feel like they’re listening to a diary being read aloud."

    -The Library Journal (Starred Review) Girl’s Girl by Sonia Feldman

  • “It’s delightful read by Hutchinson-Shaw”

    - Vulture Magazine, Food Person, Adam Roberts 

  • “Hutchinson-Shaw subtly differentiates among characters rather than relying on flashier techniques, her performance of each character’s personality and emotions keeps them distinct.”

    - The Library Journal (Starred Review) Cosmic Love at the Multiverse Hair Salon, Annie Mare 

  • “Mia captured the characters' personalities perfectly, she nailed the accents and the pronunciation of complex Old Norse words. I have readers rave about the narration!”

    - Demi Winters, The Ashen Series

  • “Working with Mia has been a highlight of my publishing journey. She brought my character to life more artfully than I could have hoped.”
