Carrie Drovdlic

I'm an award-winning narrator and have been a working voice actor for the last eight years. Recently I've voiced characters in King Arthur Legion IX, Stream or Die, and The Operator (Pegasus Award winner). When I'm not voicing game characters I'm narrating audiobooks or commercials, or creating characters for animation, short films, and audiodramas. I produce audio from my home studio in Columbus, OH and enjoy using my theater and voice acting experience to help others learn the craft. I've given this workshop several times and love helping people find their game character voices!
