Education & Training are ever-expanding markets for voice actors and are among my favorite projects to be a part of. This includes eLearning, virtual lessons, training videos as well as apps, podcasts, games, and music! Education strategies are always advancing along with technology and that means new opportunities to reach both kid and adult listeners.
My friendly, and encouraging vocal style makes me a natural fit for educational kidsโ content, college orientation videos, onboarding, job training, or technical tutorials. I focus on enhancing the listenersโ learning experience across various platforms and subjects.
These listeners can be extremely diverse, targeting students of all ages, volunteers, advocates, employees, or even educators, trainers, and teachers themselves.
Learning is certainly no longer limited to classrooms. You can now learn in a traditional setting just as easily as you can learn remotely from home, or on the go.
I have years of hands-on experience teaching and facilitating workshops with kids, teens, and adults in various learning safe spaces. I know what itโs like standing in a classroom full of kids while fighting to win over their attention spans. Adults can be a tough crowd too. This makes me comfortable taking the time to figure out how to best explain topics at an understandable pace, without being monotonous, condescending, robotic, or boring.
My biggest fear is being this guyโฆ

One of the best compliments I ever got from a student was that they liked my workshops because I was real, not fake, and they were looking forward to me coming back. I take that as a good sign that I was connecting and making a positive and effective impact.
The same approaches that Iโve used in facilitating workshops are an advantage when recording education-based voiceovers. Teachers donโt have to always be a stern voice of authority. They can be fun. They can be peers. They donโt even have to be โPeopleโ.
Sesame Street is the ultimate example of that!
Projects that focus on tough subjects like addiction, violence, vaping, abuse, racism, and sexual health has been rewarding to be a part of since I was a teen. My goal is to always be relatable so participants feel comfortable no matter how uncomfortable the topic may be.
With eLearning projects, I aim to motivate listeners as they engage with the material, ensuring they understand it fully without feeling rushed or overwhelmed. Itโs a job well done when I know I conveyed all the information clearly and accurately. Then guiding them as they assess how much they have retained makes me feel just as accomplished!
Seeing great responses to the projects Iโve worked on is always inspiring! I love watching kids getting more comfortable with math while my boy student character learns with them using Zearn, or exploring great questions with Nearpod, or going on fun adventures as various characters on Pinnaโs โParents Choice Gold Awardโ winning podcast Quentin and Alfieโs Alphabet Adventures, or being a part of a team of math superheroes in Teachleyโs Math Corps (The Great 8) series, or encouraging kids to code as Codi Newton in the STEM based series Cozmo & Friends. I applaud all the creativity that goes into finding new ways to reach, teach, engage, and motivate kidsโฆย ย And yes, adults enjoy them too!
Adult learning doesnโt have to be boring either. Training on corporate governance, or cybersecurity courses can be fun and engaging as well, utilizing dynamic characters and delivery. Like Infosecโs hilarious award-winning Power Up series.
Here are some samples of educational and training projects that Iโve worked on.
