Melissa R.

Hi there!
I'm Melissa and I voice in a neutral American English accent. I have a naturally deep voice and have been a full-time voice actor for 24 years. Before that, I was a television journalist, but don't let the "reporter thing" fool you: I also have a strong theatre background, so I have a versatile delivery and consider myself very directable.

I'm the mom to 3 awesome kids, and 3 awesome bonus kids. My husband and I also raise two very spoiled bearded dragons.

I've been a professional voice actor for 24 years, working from my broadcast-quality home studio. I specialize in commercial and e-learning work. I have a knack for "big words" and making complex or even dry subjects sound interesting and understandable.
