🎙 Samantha Cooper

Always in on the joke and easy breezy to work with, Sam is a full-time voice actor based in California with clients all over the world. Her turnaround is quick, and her Sennheiser 416 and Warm Audio 87 capture her conversational, authentic, and bright sound.

Having grown up on both coasts, Sam is NYC fast, yet West Coast light and laid back. She can clearly inform in your explainer video, take learners through a fun and friendly course, or level with wry and dry commercial copy that connects with your brand's audience.

A theater practitioner since she was a kid, she fully commits to lively, rich, and real characters in animated shows or video games.

Samantha landed in VO years ago while performing in a theatre production, and the director (who happened to be on staff at an eLearning company) invited her to jump in the booth. She now thrives behind the mic where it's her job to make silly faces and gesture with her hands.

Her sound is authentic millennial, whimsical and bright, relatable and genuine with a touch of sass or snark, if requested. She has mastered the classic and sought-after "talking to a friend" read, but will always add her own twist. She voices everything from commercials to cartoons to eLearning modules to explainer videos. Samantha is a native English speaker, residing in California after many years as a New Yorker.

Accents include: General American, Transatlantic or Mid-Atlantic, New York, California, and General American Southern and Midwestern. She has also tackled many a European accent - Italian, Polish, General Irish, RP, Cockney, Russian, and German, but usually for character work, only.

With Samantha's theatre background, she can build a variety of layered characters - from curmudgeonly crass elderly women to cute animal toys for kids to teen pop princesses and fun, energetic young boys, she can fight or sing her way into the hearts of listeners. You may already have played as her in well known video games or chuckled with your kids at her cartoon personalities.
