Yolanda Spearman is a voice actor located in Detroit, MI, USA. She has been actively working as a voice actor since 2009. She has worked for a diverse pool of clients and brands, such as Salesforce, Wayfair and Walmart. Listen to 68 voice over samples that showcase her best work.
Yolanda Spearman is an MBA wielding Professional African-American Woman who loves being behind her microphone. She is a creative force and her voice is a fabulous depiction of her personality. She is the voice of your new best friend. When you hear her sound the warmth envelopes your ears and draws you in so that you want to hear a little more. The deep rasp and gravitas pushes forward your call to action.
WHY YOLANDA?
There is that African-American swagger that you can’t describe but you can hear and you want just a bit of that in your voiceover. She has that! Seriously. At the same time she can coax a smile to your lips without much effort and make a very dry read a little more fun. She is really easy to work with too.
