E. Dawn Samuel

I do an all encompassing African accent (I am the voice for the Malaria No More Foundation). A British accent, Australian accent, French, Asian, Eastern European and everything from a California surfer girl, to Boston aristocrat (can do most US regional dialects)

As a veteran voice-over actress and Emmy winning producer, I have a vast understanding of television and radio production. From commercials, promotions, and long format narrations, to radio bumpers, industrial films, up-front tapes and relaxation/meditation CD’s, I can tailor fit both my voice quality and read to best represent your brand and effectively reach your target audience. I have been a professional voice over artist since 1980. I have two graduate degrees in the craft, study privately, and teach.
