Melissa Medina
The swiss-army-knife of Voice Actors
Not your average voice: STRENGTH, HUMOR, KINDNESS, & CHARACTER.
Versatility is my thing, so you can hear my sweet sweet voice on everything from national commercial campaigns to AAA action-adventure games, in that annoying character your kids love, in shoulder-padded suit-wearing business narrations, sometimes even broody trailers. I love to brood.

hear me roar...and do other stuff.
I'm best known for playing mothers & their daughters, quirky lovable weirdos, and for being really good at yelling orders at people. I should probably see someone about that last one. Check out the demos over there to see what else I can do.

I have recorded commercials, AAA games, & animated series...all from my modified, insulated closet space. It's the only "good" kind of being in the closet. Brave new world, huh?
I ❤ Games & Animation.
From the indie realm to the AAA space, web series to TV series, characters are my bread & butter - even when I go off carbs. Check out some of the projects I was able to find footage for. The rest you can find on my RESUME at the top of this page ^

Singing & Soundtracks
There's nothing I love more than being able to bring both a character & the music for the production to life. Check out my recent work here.
audiobooks
Can you believe you've scrolled this far?? ME NEITHER!
Audiobooks were my intro into voiceover and I don't think I would be the same person without them. I adore authors and always make it a point to maintain connections to fellow creatives. Allow me to bring your story off the page!
Audiobook Samples coming soon!
About Me
Step into my office! As a person I am direct, quirky, driven but friendly, communicative, and collaborative. Did I say quirky? Because yes. I am an introvert with extrovert energy and I am a passionate advocate for survivor support, youth arts funding, humor, cultural representation, and mental health.
I am of Mexican, Argentinian, & Scottish ancestry and I am a multi-lingual member of the LGBT+ community.
Raised in a military family from South Texas, I had a rough start in life, which made me a weird kid and an even weirder adult - but hey, aren’t we all?
I grew up with Deaf/HoH and Spanish-speaking-only family, and spent summers volunteering in the Blind & Low-Vision communities, so accessibility is important to me.
At the University of Texas I studied Vocal Performance and Pedagogy, and toured as a professional classical singer. To pay those nasty student loans, I worked in Healthcare as an Echocardiographer and in I.T. as a Senior Product Owner for a major Healthcare company - all of which means I bring a wealth of life experience & credibility to my performances.
When I’m not voice acting, I am a complete goof, professional klutz, watcher of movies, lover of travel, listener of podcasts, drinker of wine, eater of pizza. Eater of…just about anything actually (ask me about the weirdest thing I’ve tried).
My goal is to bring your project to life in the friendliest most efficient way. To SEE you and your project, and treat you not like a client, but as the creative human being you are. So say hi. I like it when people say hi.
