Animation and Character Voice Over

Whether you’re looking for a plucky villain for a kid’s show or a bold protagonist for a video game, Maria loves to do animation and character voiceover. After spending her childhood doing impressions of Cartman, Beavis and Butthead, and Daria at the dinner table, Maria is literally living the dream. After all, voiceover is not just talking or announcing – it’s acting! (Maria also claims that Anastasia is a highly underrated animated film – now a live-action Broadway musical.)

Maria also loves the explosion of adult animated shows of late and cites shows like Archer, BoJack Horseman, Tuca and Bertie, Central Park among others as influences on her performances.

Recently, Maria had a blast playing the title character of “Prim” in an award-winning point & click adventure game. The character was described as a cross between Coraline and Daria. Maria loved bringing this sassy youngster to life with the team at Cmmn Clrs. She’s available to do all kinds of cartoons, animated shorts, pilots, video, computer, or mobile games and apps. Maria’s sassy, confident voice is a natural fit for animation voice acting. If your project is silly or weird, even better.

When you choose to put your project in the hands (er, vocal cords) of a trained animation voice actor, you benefit from a high degree of professionalism and efficiency. Not only does a professional voice actor have the ability to create high-quality voice clips that are ready-to-use, but they also have a wide range of skills in their repertoire.

With more than a decade of experience, Maria Pendolino is highly skilled at a variety of voice acting and voice acting-adjacent tasks. If you’re looking for a voice actor for pre-lay, a voice actor for an animation scratch session, or even a voice actor for ADR or dubbing, Maria can do it all.

Just like, as human beings, we are all different, the characters that we create are all different, too. As a result, they all have their own unique attributes that will delight and captivate their audience—if you cast their voiceovers appropriately!

While you may be tempted to go out and cast a wide range of artists to voice your characters, consider the fact that a talented voice actor like Maria Pendolino is capable of doing multiple voices. This can also be helpful from a scheduling and budgetary perspective! From a syrupy sweet princess to a menacing villain, Maria can switch vocal tones so quickly that you won’t even believe it’s coming from the same person.
