The confident voice directing your call; the banker teaching you how to access your online banking; the lab worker showing you around; the tour guide helping you navigate the new building. Mine has been the voice of reason, as well as the subject matter expert helping folks access their benefits online. The best part about being a voice actor is helping important messages get to the people who need to hear them the most.
In addition to traditional voice over content, I am an audiobook narrator at AudioBee Productions. If you're an indy author, check out my profile and listen to my audiobook demos here: https://www.audiobeeproductions.com/narrators/melissa-a.-kingsbury
Before becoming a voice over professional, my career was spent on the front line helping customers in retail and financial settings. I then advanced to the classroom as an instructor helping to hire and train new frontline personnel. Even at that point, I voiced content in-house to teach government regulations (real exciting stuff!) as well as voicing robocalls (yeah, sorry about that) and the automated phone system. Mimicry and funny voices practiced in childhood kept everyone’s attention in my classroom. Becoming a voice over professional was a natural progression, and when I made the leap, everything finally made sense!
I received my voice over training from SuchAVoice and Braintracks Audio, and work out of my broadcast quality, professional home studio. Turnaround time for most short-form projects is 24 hours. I use a Scarlett Solo Condenser Mic and for recording Audio Tours, eLearning, Explainer Videos, On Hold Messaging, Corporate/Industrial narrations, Radio Commercials, Medical and other Narration, Documentaries, and more!
BONUS: I am also experienced with editing copy. If your script has been translated from another language, I can make sure your American audience will receive the message as you intended.
