About Virginia Welch – Why She Loves Voice Over

Virginia Welch is a full time female voice actor who thrives behind the mic, where imagination takes the lead and every script becomes a new world. Whether it’s a healthcare commercial, a luxury brand spot, or a character driven narration, she loves the challenge of transforming words on a page into something authentically human and emotionally real. Voiceover lets her disappear into a role, to tell stories that stick just like she did when she was a kid, making up bedtime puppet shows for her little sister. Collaboration fuels her. She loves working with creative teams, bouncing ideas around, and sometimes uncovering a totally unexpected direction. Voice over is freedom, connection, and storytelling.

Virginia grew up in Texas, running wild on her family farm, performing skits at the dinner table with her little sister, and living for the spotlight in local theatre. She was in musicals like Chicago, West Side Story, and The Wizard of Oz. She also choreographed dances for talent shows (yes, she was that kid). She finished her high school credits early and applied to Interlochen Arts Academy (basically Hogwarts for actors, dancers, musicians, and artists) and spent her senior year immersed in it. From there, she earned her BFA in Acting from the Hartt School at the University of Hartford. Even with a full course load, she’d sneak into extra lectures because she wanted to learn everything (still a huge nerd).

Virginia studied classical theatre in England, trained at Shakespeare & Company in the Berkshires, and graduated summa cum laude with a degree in acting. After interning at Miramax, she traded the stage for LA cameras and began booking commercials, indie films, and TV. Her most recognized role was portraying Casey Anthony in Prosecuting Casey Anthony for Lifetime, opposite Rob Lowe. All of that on-camera experience laid the groundwork for her voiceover career. It trained her ear for nuance and gave me the emotional range she uses in commercial voice over, corporate narration, and character voice work today. She thrives working with a great director and jumps at the challenge to try new things with a script.

To support her acting career, Virginia Welch worked for years with Toyota as a product specialist, presenting to live crowds and getting deep into the technical side of their vehicles. Doing this day in and day out for five years sharpened her cold reading skills and taught her how to roll with last minute changes and still keep it seamless.

Ironically, the first big voiceover job she landed was a national commercial for Jeep. That booking flipped the switch, she knew voice over was where she belonged. She’s been behind the mic ever since.

Books. Comic books. Food. Coffee shops. Embroidery (thank her Granny for that one). Virginia is constantly on Skillshare learning something new. Her happy place is a quiet hipster café with a latte and a New York Times bestseller on a rainy day. She loves to explore new places, food tourism, and trying to recreate those same dishes at home. She is an excellent cook and a disastrous baker (probably for the best though, if she could make a decent chocolate chip cooking that’s all she’d eat). Virginia is a proud Slytherin and would absolutely win any Harry Potter trivia challenge. Her furry coworkers: two cats, Remy and Christmas, and dog, Vesper, keep her company in her broadcast quality home studio, where she records daily for clients across the country and around the world.

Voiceover is always evolving and Virginia is always training. She consistently sharpens her skills with top industry coaches in commercial, promo, trailer, and animation VO.
