    Maria was a wonderful creative partner to work with, providing voiceover for an animated disease education video! I appreciated not only her talent as a voiceover actor, but also her clear communication and prompt professionalism as we ironed out the details of the project.

www.voicebymaria.com | maria@voicebymaria.com | Call/Text: 607-222-1401 Same-Day Turnaround Available from a Professional Home Recording Studio Hi there! My name is Maria Pendolino and I'm an award-winning full-time professional voiceover actor. I'm the voice you've been looking for and I'd love to work with you today! You'll recognize my voice from high profile national commercials and industrials. My voice is warm, conversational, non-announcery, friendly, upbeat, relatable, confident, and sassy. Age-wise, I'm a youthful sounding millennial and typically book projects in the 25-45 age range. I can age-down to sound more Gen Z in the style of creators and influencers on TikTok and Instagram, but I can also and age-up to sound more Gen X with authority and confidence. I'm here to bring your words to life from my state-of-the-art professional recording studio and make sure your message is heard above the rest. I believe in the power of human connection and authenticity and it's my pleasure to bring that attitude to your projects. Message, email, or call me to work on your project today! You're probably *not* looking for celebrity impressions BUT - if you're looking for a celebrity sound-alike for famous folks like Anna Kendrick, Kristen Bell, Emma Stone, Rashida Jones, Scarlett Johansson, Jennifer Lawrence, Julie Bowen, Beanie Feldstein, Allison Janney, Tina Fey, Kate McKinnon, Amy Poehler, Janeane Garafolo, Ellie Kemper, Elizabeth Banks, Rebel Wilson, Melissa McCarthy, Kathryn Hahn, Florence Pugh, Zendaya, Heidi Gardner, Selena Gomez, Kate McKinnon, Chloe Fineman, Kristen Wiig, Maya Rudolph, Tig Notaro, Nikki Glaser, and many more - you have come to the right place! I watch a lot of TV (including reality TV!) and I don't fast forward thru the commercials - so I'm really familiar with the types of reads that brands are using celebrities for. Check out my commercial reel on Vimeo: https://vimeo.com/549016374 WHAT I OFFER As a full-time national voiceover talent, you can confidently cast me in your project and know that you will get a top-notch performance from a seasoned actor and performer. I have my own dedicated, fully equipped home studio and I offer broadcast-quality pristine audio. I can accommodate live directed sessions via SourceConnect, ISDN, ipDTL, Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Phone Patch. I can typically offer same-day or 24 hour turnaround and I always strive to be flexible on rates and budgets. WHERE YOU HAVE HEARD MY VOICE I've voiced advertising, industrial and educational content for companies like Geico, Xfinity, Google, HP Printers, American Express, Pillsbury, YouTube, Panera, Dannon, Zipcar, Zelle, Comcast, USPS, UNICEF, Whole Foods Market, Ortho Home Defense Max, Monistat, Comcast, AWS, ACT Kids Mouthwash, Symetra Insurance, Oofos, SunChips, Dove, Smashbox Cosmetics, ReBath, Robert Mondavi Wines, Proactiv, The New York Public Library and Hoover - among many others! I also voice PSAs, work for non-profits, and Democratic and progressive candidates. Note: These are representative brands and don't necessarily reflect a current commercial conflict. VOICEOVER GENRES I regularly voice commercials, promos, video games, explainer videos, e-learning, corporate narration, medical narration, animation, television in-show and documentary narration, telephone systems, IVR, political, apps, voice activated smart speakers, radio imaging, automotive dealerships, live announce/Voice of God, singing and jingles. VOICEOVER AWARDS 2023 - Reed Award, Best Use of Voiceover in a TV Spot 2022 - Best Documentary Voiceover Nominee, One Voice Awards 2021 - Voiceover Artist of the Year Nominee, One Voice Awards 2021 - Best Voiceover, Independent Political TV Spot, The Reed Awards 2020 - The German Computer Game Awards, Team Nominee 2019 - 40 Under 40, Business First Biz Journals 2017 - Voice Arts Award, Best Voiceover, e-Learning 2018 - Voice Arts Award, Best Voiceover, Sales Video 2018 - Voice Arts Award, Nominee - Radio Imaging WHAT TYPE OF READS/CHARACTERS I PLAY I can be the best friend, the girl next door, the teacher, the girlfriend or wife, the warm announcer, the sexy and sultry woman, the office millennial, the professional co-worker, the young millennial mom and many more! For animation, video games and cartoons, I can perform a wide range of character voices and accents. CORPORATE NARRATION AND INDUSTRIALS I do a lot of work in the medical, corporate, pharmaceutical, industrial and e-learning space. I specialize in bringing a friendly and approachable voice to scripts that can be very jargon-heavy and complex. I'm not afraid of long, hard to pronounce words! I know how to make it sound like I'm just their work friend from one cubicle over. SPECIAL SKILLS I secretly love speed talking, so send me that disclaimer, sweepstakes and legal & fair balance copy! I'm also a singer and love to work on character singing or jingles. I was a musical theatre performer in NYC before becoming a full-time voice actor and secretly, Ursula the Sea Witch from The Little Mermaid might be my favorite animated lady! OUTSIDE OF VOICE ACTING In addition to my voice acting career, you can currently see me on television acting in Netflix's TEAM TOON as Eunice, the lunch lady. I was also a recurring character on Lifetime's hit show ARMY WIVES and a guest star on Nat Geo. My husband and I were also on an episode of HGTV's flagship show HOUSE HUNTERS. I'm also a budding stand-up comedian and take comedy classes at Helium Comedy Club. Perhaps I'll be performing in a city near you someday soon? I have five rescue cats named Two Scoops, Mozzie, Panini, Rigatoni, and Ravioli. They're always bouncing in and out of my studio, so collectively they are known as "The Studio Floofs." Please feel free to contact me directly - I'm always happy to hear from you!
