www.taliagonzalez.com | taliamg21@gmail.com | Call/Text: 617.875.4463 Los Angeles | Same-Day Turnaround from a Professional Home Studio Hi there! I'm Talia Gonzalez — a full-time professional voice actor with twenty years behind the mic and hundreds of national spots to my name. My voice is bright, textured, conversational and real: the smart best friend, the warm professional, the mom you'd actually want to have coffee with. I can be sweet and effervescent, or drop into something lower, hipper, and drier. I read comfortably from young adult through Gen X and book most often in the 25-50 range. CURRENTLY You can hear me right now in national commercials for PCA Skin and in Disney's 70th Celebration campaign. I also recently completed ADR and loop group work on a major upcoming studio feature. WHAT MAKES ME DIFFERENT I'm also a working television and film writer. If your copy isn't landing, I can tell you why — and fix it. Hand me a rewrite mid-session and I'll take it cold, on mic, without losing the take. I've spent my career on both sides of the script, which means you're not just hiring a voice, you're hiring someone who understands structure, rhythm, and why a line isn't working. Clients tell me this is the thing they didn't know they needed until they had it. WHAT I OFFER Broadcast-quality audio from my own treated home studio. Live directed sessions via Source Connect, ISDN, ipDTL, Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, and phone patch. Same-day or 24-hour turnaround is standard. SAG-AFTRA, financial core — available for union and non-union work. I'm organized, I hit deadlines, and I'm easy to direct. WHERE YOU'VE HEARD MY VOICE Commercial and brand campaigns for PCA Skin, Target, JCPenney, Clearasil, Dannon, Hasbro, Mattel, Axe, Estée Lauder, CoverGirl, Tide, American Eagle, Zappos, Intel, and the Ad Council. Promos for NBC. Documentary narration for ESPN. Educational audio for Scholastic and Disney — including the voice of Anne Frank, performed with a German accent, in the "They Spoke Out" series. Interactive installations for the Smithsonian Institution and the Canada Aviation and Space Museum. Animation for Nickelodeon and NBC affiliates. Video games including Ride to Hell and Nintendo's Birthday Party Bash. SPEED, PHARMA AND IMPOSSIBLE COPY Send me the disclaimer. Send me the fair balance, the legal tag, the sweepstakes rules, the drug name nobody can pronounce. I speak very quickly and very cleanly and I genuinely love the challenge. I have a background in sports medicine, physiology and kinesiology, so clinical copy isn't foreign territory — I know what the words mean, which is why it sounds like I do. EDITING ON THE FLY Because I write for a living, I can fix copy in the moment at no charge — trimming to time, smoothing a clunky line, flagging what isn't landing before we burn twenty minutes on takes that were never going to work. Full copywriting and script rewrites are available as a separate creative service, bookable directly from this profile. VOICEOVER GENRES Commercials, promos, explainer videos, e-learning, corporate and medical narration, pharmaceutical, animation, video games, documentary and in-show narration, audiobooks, ADR and loop group, telephony and IVR, apps, smart speakers, radio imaging, political, live announce and Voice of God, museum and interactive audio. CORPORATE NARRATION AND E-LEARNING I do a lot of work in the corporate, medical, pharmaceutical and e-learning space. My specialty is making dense, jargon-heavy material sound like a person talking — smart, compassionate, trustworthy, never condescending. I also worked in marketing and PR and studied advertising and copywriting, so I understand what the brief is actually trying to accomplish. DIALECTS AND IMPRESSIONS I'm a strong mimic across a wide range — anywhere from a young Judy Garland to Lena Dunham. Commercial-read prototypes include Aubrey Plaza, Ayo Edebiri, Zooey Deschanel, Mindy Kaling, Scarlett Johansson, and Rashida Jones. For dry and deadpan, Jenny Slate. For mom reads, Kristen Bell or Mandy Moore. OUTSIDE THE BOOTH I'm a television writer and producer — Co-Executive Producer on Netflix's Virgin River, Supervising Producer on ABC's Promised Land, with credits on Hawaii Five-0, iZombie, Fate: The Winx Saga, and Teen Wolf, plus feature films for Hallmark and Netflix. I've also coached voice actors and produced demos for a decade. Boston-raised, NYU Tisch-trained, Los Angeles-based, and running primarily on Dunkin'. Let's work together.
