Audrey J Williams, voice actor

Growing up in Tennessee with an engineer for a father and a therapist for a mother, I say that I got the best of both worlds. And, that is why I am a “techy-feely” kind of human! After over 30 years in education, I took my interest in audio to another level ready to mirror they techy side with the feely side of communication through voice. I love to combine both technical and emotion-led communication and can rely on my background in education to bring more technically oriented voiceover projects to life in a natural and relatable way. As a youngster, I would play with her father’s oscilloscope in the garage and try to make the sine waves change by tapping on things that it would “hear”. This began the long fascination with what these instruments could do and how to manipulate sound. Before becoming a voiceover artist, the bulk of my career was in higher education coming into instructional technology as it was shifting to digital. I was exciting to being able to work with digital audio and video from the beginning…my new oscilloscope! I have written and produced science museum exhibits and demonstrations, created short television spots teaching science, trained college faculty on creating online classes, led an educational and multimedia technology department, and eventually retired as the Vice-President of Information Services/Chief Information Officer for the largest community college in Tennessee. All of these experiences led me to create “The Sky is NOT The Limit” – a video series exploring the science and emotion of space, weather and the sky. Episodes are released every two weeks on LinkedIn, BlueSky and YouTube feeds. My voiceover training never really stops. Along with traditional acting and voice courses and workshops, I have also studied with Such A Voice with Glad Klassen as my coach and Tara Rao as one of my demo producers. I continue my training and education with a wide variety of voice professionals such as sessions with Elaine Clark, Stacia Newcomb, Sara Sherman and Elley-Ray Hennessey, audiobook workshops with Sean Pratt and Scott Brick, an audiobook masterclass with Marc Cashman and Dan Musselman, and e-Learning training with Carrie Olsen. I completed the two part Intensive Mini-Course in Medical Narration with Debbie Irwin and continue to coach with her as well as Brad Hyland in one-on-one sessions.
