Marianna de Fazio

I speak fluent German and have a handle on many dialects, namely German and Austrian, New York, Boston and American Southern, as well as RP, Estuary or cockney. My Italian, Russian, Indian and French dialects are also solid. I specialize in character voices from children to nerds, dumb blondes, old ladies and many more in between.

I am the announcer in Nintendo's 'Rhythm Heaven Fever', to be released for Wii in February 2012. I have recorded various characters (including a bratty, German boy) for HerInteractive, a Seattle company and maker of Nancy Drew video games. I also volunteer at the Washington Talking Book and Braille Library, where audio books are recorded for the visually impaired. I received my MFA in acting from the University of Washington in 2010, where I received extensive voice, speech and dialect training under Judith Shahn and Scott Hafso. I have taken workshops from local Seattle Voice Over Artists including Veronica Weikel, Gin Hammond and Naomi Mercer. Growing up, I took years of voice lessons and sang in myriad choirs. I have a Samson C01U microphone and Audacity software. Quick turnaround is no problem, and I am happy to rerecord and re-edit until you are satisfied with the material submitted.
