I’m Kelsey Painter, also know as The VO Opossum.

I have a wonderfully weird, bouncy voice that has inspired many a collaborator to think about their characters in entirely new lights.

I have a deep well of expression to draw on; and I excel in the animation and interactive spaces. I’m also a go-to talent for commercial projects that call for joy, levity, and a sparkly edge. My home studio is broadcast quality and Source Connect ready.

My university education and early professional background is in classical and contemporary theatre, through which I developed expert script analysis skills and explored a vast spread of different acting techniques and approaches. The techniques I’ve studied include: Roy Hart vocal technique, Linklater vocal technique/text analysis, Commedia del’Arte, Alba Emoting, Rasaboxes, Laban movement, Stanislavsky, Min Tanaka/Body Weather, Lecoq, Viewpoints, and more!

So why the VO Opossum? Well, just like opossums: I’m one of a kind (Opossums are America’s only marsupial!), an out-of-left-field funky weirdo, and great for the environment (aka your project)! I bring sparkle and grit to every character I voice, regardless of size, shape, or galactic origin.

p.s. not to worry, I can be normal upon request 😝
