About Laura Vandiver

My work can currently be heard on a wide variety of advertisements that run on The New York Times' slate of podcasts, including The Daily.

I am a full-time professional voice actor living in New York City and I have recorded thousands of radio and television commercials, pre-roll ads, audiobooks, explainer videos and e-learning programs for clients around the world. I graduated from the College of Wooster with a Bachelor's Degree in Theatre and a minor in Chinese language. I grew up in Ohio and although I now live in the big city, I have a warm, friendly Midwestern accent and a relatable millennial tone that will bring your project to life.

Service Overview

Voice Over

I record out of my home studio in New York City on my Neumann TLM 103 microphone. Most of my projects are self-directed, but I'm always happy to join clients for directed sessions over SourceConnect, Zoom, Skype, or a good old fashioned phone call. I can send raw or edited audio through the Voices platform or over email, Dropbox, or WeTransfer. I typically have a very speedy turn around time. I hope to lend my friendly Midwestern millennial voice to your project very soon!
