Without a Solid Foundation, You’ll Have Trouble Creating Anything of Value
erika oppenheimer
Welcome to my world of creativity and communication. As a performer, director, voice-over talent, and educator, my journey has been a rich tapestry of experiences that have shaped who I am today. Each role I’ve embraced has intertwined to create a unique fusion that defines my work and my voice.
Everything about me is a blend of influences—just like my natural curls, my career in voice-over was a natural progression. As an American-Filipino raised in the vibrant, multicultural neighborhoods of New York, I grew up surrounded by diversity. My experiences playing alongside friends from different ethnic backgrounds and religions on the same block have deeply enriched my understanding of the world. This multicultural perspective allows me to bring empathy, authenticity, and emotional depth to every project I undertake.
My voice has been my instrument, whether on stage as an actress, in the classroom as a university professor, or behind the microphone as a voice-over artist. Crafting a powerful and effective message takes time and skill. It’s about more than just reading words—it’s about breathing life into them, lifting them off the page, and engaging the listener in a meaningful way. This is the craftsmanship I bring to every piece of work I do.
Great communication is about connection. It’s about interpreting words and conveying their true meaning to achieve the desired impact. If you’re looking to collaborate on a creative project, need a voice-over artist to bring your story to life, want to enhance your performance or presentation skills, or need a skilled “proofer” for your audiobook, I’m here to help.
I produce all my voice-over work from my personal studio, and I can easily connect with you remotely via SOURCE CONNECT, SKYPE, or ZOOM. I invite you to explore my VO, Acting, Directing, and Educator pages to see how each aspect of my journey influences my work and why I’m the perfect choice for your next voice-over project.
