Brittany Skyy

My name is Brittany Skyy and I fell in love with the performing arts when I was in 1st grade. My teachers heard my singing voice and insisted I join the musical as a Munchkin! Now 20 years later I am rushing head first towards my dream. I am proud to say I have been working as a VO artist for a few years now and know I made it here because of me. To quote the lovely Sharpay Evans "I Want It All!". I want to expand my career in gaming, animation and characters. The greatest things about me are my passion, drive and just love for all things creative. I love making people smile and I love seeing that my talent can help make their dreams come to life.

 Formación

I have a BA in Acting and Music from Columbia College Chicago. During our time there we had to take electives that were in the acting branch in order to complete our degree. I elected for courses in voice acting, Shakespeare and stage combat. The last was more for fun. Below is some of the classes I attended outside of my college. Masterclasses and such. After college I have continued to do masterclasses as well have taught some improv for my self. I also speak almost near fluent Japanese which is where I currently live and work.

 Experiencia

My current steady jobs are with three different companies here in Japan. Most of them animate manga that manga artists have created and post it on YouTube. They have the same manga in Japanese but want to reach out to English viewers as well so that’s where I come in. I really love it, some episodes have multiple characters which is challenging and rewarding. I do the voices for multiple manga characters and record episodes daily for them. Sometimes I even translate Japanese to English. Before that I have done commercials, audiobooks etc. Before I moved to Japan 5 years ago I actually never did any voice over work. I worked mostly in film and stage musicals. However when I moved to Japan my acting options got limited due to visa and I finally took everyone’s advice that I have a unique voice and talent and started voice overs.
