Ann Osmond

My voice is mature and articulate and often described as warm and empathetic. I have been praised for my ability to convey information clearly while maintaining warmth and accessibility. I enjoy helping people to learn and understand things as much as bringing characters to life in works of fiction.

Storytelling in all its forms is my greatest joy. I was always the first one to raise my hand to read aloud in elementary school. That enthusiasm has not waned and led to theatre studies at Stanford University and my current career as a professional actor, singer and VO artist.

I enjoy learning languages and feeling like a citizen of the world. So far I speak some Swedish (one side of my family), French and Spanish and look forward to adding others to the mix. When not in my booth I am involved in theatre, film and television projects and perform in jazz and cabaret venues in the NYC region.
