Deborah Grausman is an actor, singer, voiceover artist, and producer. She can be heard as the voice Smartie, Elmo's new friend on "Sesame Street," airing on HBO and PBS. In addition to her voiceover work, she has delighted audiences across the U.S. and Canada as Chava in the North American Tour of "Fiddler on the Roof," starring the film's star, Topol, and later, Harvey Fierstein and Theodore Bikel.

Deborah's voice has been heard on national campaigns for Subway, Liberty Mutual, and on promos for Food Network. Recently, she recorded the audiobook, "What the Night Sings" (Penguin Random House), and she is in development for the new series, "Two Sopranos and a Chef."

Producing and fundraising efforts include the critically-acclaimed "Broadway in the Berkshires" (with hosts Dick Cavett, John Douglas Thompson, and Chip Zien) benefitting Shakespeare & Company, "Broadway in Charlottesville" benefitting Charlottesville Opera, and "Fiddlin' Around," a benefit for Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS with host, Harvey Fierstein.

Deborah spends her free time serving on the boards of two nonprofit organizations, the Edna Y. Schwartz Scholarship Fund and Careers through Culinary Arts Program (C-CAP). A native New Yorker, Deborah is a graduate of Duke University and The Spence School, is a member of AEA and SAG-AFTRA, and is the sister of filmmaker, Jennifer Grausman.
