VOICEOVER
Commercial VO
Skip Kelly is a voice actor and audio producer with more than thirty years behind the mic. His credits span an extensive body of commercial work for local businesses and national brands, as well as acting roles for HBO, Amazon, and DC Comics, with performances ranging from relaxed, everyday conversation to larger-than-life characters.
He brings an actor’s instincts and a producer’s ear to every session. That means understanding the idea behind the script, taking direction, and offering choices that give clients something to work with. He can deliver the read they came looking for, plus a few possibilities they might not have considered.
Commercials, animation, promos, and narration all call for something different. Hear a little of each below.

Animation VO
Astonishingly versatile character voices with an endless supply of energy. A scheming supervillain, a friendly whale, a dad trying to keep everyone out of trouble. Skip’s character work includes the Riddler for DC Comics, Longfellow in the American Red Cross’s “WHALE Tales,” and roles in animation, games, and television.
Finding the voice is part of the fun. Giving that character a personality, a point of view, and a reason to say the line is what makes the performance work. Skip brings that same attention to a ridiculous throwaway joke and a scene that needs a little heart.

And now, the announcer!
The big, booming announcer is back! Sort of. The old radio announcer is more of a character now, and commercial casting directors never look for anything announcery - until they do.
From arena introductions and movie-trailer drama to commercials that take themselves a little too seriously, Skip can go big, play it straight, or let the audience in on the joke.

A station’s voice should feel like it belongs there. Skip’s radio imaging ranges from dry, underplayed humor to the energy of a concert announcement, with a delivery that fits the station and the people listening.
His promo work brings that same flexibility to television, streaming, and live events, whether the read needs anticipation, warmth, attitude… or a little trouble.
