Background & Training
I’m Shawn Smith, a non-union voice actor based in Alameda, CA. Originally from Columbus, Ohio. I’ve always been drawn to acting, music, and performance. After earning a degree in Telecommunications/Audio Production from Ohio University, I moved to San Francisco in 2005, where I started my voiceover career in 2008 with Tonry Talent. I’m currently represented by AB2 in Los Angeles and Stars the Agency in San Francisco.
I work across a wide range of voiceover genres—from animation and commercial work to corporate narration, video games, singing and beyond. I am the School Director at Voice One, the leading voiceover school in San Francisco, where I have trained in VO since 2008. I have also studied improv at All Out Comedy Theatre in Oakland, and at Voice One.
Outside of voiceover, I’m a singer and love playing guitar, often finding new ways to blend music and voice. I spend my free time with my wife and two boys, who inspire me every day.
Voice acting is my passion—whether it’s giving life to a character or helping a brand connect with its audience, I’m always excited by the challenge and the process.
Let’s collaborate and create something great.
