Ryan Haugen

I have spent most of my life in the midwest US. I have a "newscaster" or "neutral" US accent but lived in the south for a few years - so the southerner in me is always just a back pocket away! The same can be said for that cozy, murderous "Fargo" midwest timbre. Brooklyn, British (RP/Cockney/posh), Russian and Middle Eastern accents are also some of my specialties. I shine portraying teenage to young adult males, snooty/eccentric British men, strange, dwarf/gnome/goblin/fey types, and gender neutral/ambiguous characters. In general, my voice is best described as "youthful/young adult", but I'd also say off-the-wall, subdued, tragic, enthusiastic, treacherous, conniving, articulate, smooth, adaptive (and so on, and so on) qualify, as well. I excel at bringing a sense of realism and relatability to complex characters.

100+ audiobooks recorded/mastered for Audible, multiple small video game roles, e-Learning, and audio dramas. Hundreds of hours of live directed VO sessions. I record with a Rode NT1 microphone, a Focusrite Scarlett audio interface, a MacBook, and a sound treated recording space.
