Shawn Fitzmaurice is a Boston-area professional American male voice actor with a warm, friendly baritone and a confident, approachable delivery. His work spans commercial and advertising voice over, corporate narration, eLearning, explainers, and technical, industrial, scientific, medical, museum, and educational content. A former science podcast host and producer, Shawn earned a Bachelor of Science in Geology with a concentration in Integrated Science and brings real-world knowledge, curiosity, and careful preparation to every script.
Across commercial and narrative work, Shawn’s sound can move from conversational, believable, and lightly witty to grounded, authoritative, and informative. He is equally comfortable selling a product, telling a story, guiding a learner, or making complicated material clear without making it sound like a lecture.
Shawn spent more than 25 years working in science museums, including two decades as a large-format IMAX film-projection systems technician, along with extensive customer-service and public-communication experience. That background gives him an unusual combination of technical understanding, storytelling ability, and an instinct for communicating with real people.
He is especially comfortable with scientific terminology, engineering concepts, manufacturing language, industrial processes, medical and pharmaceutical material, and unfamiliar pronunciations. Shawn researches questions rather than guessing and works to understand the material behind a script so that even complicated copy sounds natural, confident, and accessible.
