About Kim
(she/her)Kim Handysides is a voice actor located in Montreal, QC, Canada. She has been actively working as a voice actor since 1991. She has worked for a diverse pool of clients and brands, such as Pfizer, World Bank and CalWater. Listen to 141 voice over samples that showcase her best work.
"Kim is a pro's pro...the smooth voice, easy range and perfect attitude. Bet she could make underwater yodelling sound good." Andrew Morgan - Ogilvy
Versatile and directable, from serious to sultry, retail to real, with gravitas or quirk and whimsy, let's make your message sound spot on. Whether you need a warm, clear or real conversational read, I'm your girl. Heck, we may even win awards together!
I have a sweet spot for eLearning. Perhaps because I come from education as well as acting. Perhaps because I've done over 7 thousand of them. I'm particularly excellent at medical and pharmaceutical presentations. (With the Grey's Anatomy vocabulary to prove it)
Other gigs I'm regularly hired for : a conversational, natural read for a podcast or explainer video; a warm and friendly voice for telephone services; and fun or evil characters for your videogames.
