Shira Ankori

Shira Ankori is a film editor and voice-over artist with a career spanning over two decades. Her vast experience cutting everything from national commercial campaigns for broadcast and digital platforms to film, documentary, social media, interactive and branded content has helped Shira garner a reputation as a masterful creative collaborator adept at crafting stories in virtually any form and genre.

As an award winning commercial editor Shira has worked with some of the world’s largest agencies including Publicis, Grey, Saatchi & Saatchi and FCB and clients such as Walmart, Taco Bell, Toyota, Wendy’s and P&G.

As a voice-over artist Shira has voiced national and regional commercial campaigns with clients ranging from AT&T, Taco Bell and Clairol to Kellogg’s and Jenny Craig.

Establishing her developed sense of storytelling and musicality early on through years of training as a ballet dancer at the School of American Ballet, as a pianist at the Manhattan School of Music, and later on as a dance major at the La Guardia High School of Music and Art and the Performing Arts, Shira turned her eye towards editing as a film major in college at Boston University. She then went on to cut her teeth at edit houses across New York City before heading to Los Angeles for nearly a decade, where she further cemented herself as a skillfully versatile editor on projects ranging from quirky comedy/dialogue commercials to long form documentary work.

Shira returned to New York City in 2010, continuing her passion in crafting and telling stories with other creative people who like to tell stories. She lives with her husband and two daughters in Brooklyn, NY.
