About Ki Garland

Ki (pronounced Key) is a Midlands born Voice Actor and Singer who started acting 19 years ago in musical theatre groups.  She is best known for her leading roles as Dethiral in Yonder World: Interview with the Void, The Thief in The Fause Knight and her performances in various acclaimed titles from the Dreams platform including Scraps & The Cosmic Tale series.

Through initially studying for her degree in animation,  she rekindled a love for storytelling and characterisation through acting, seeing that most animators were 'undercover actors'. This continued as she began streaming to explore narrative & art in games, and share her love and respect for the industry. Not long after, she found a catharsis and enjoyment in doing voices for games without VA which soon became the beginning of her Voice Acting career.

Ki has worked on numerous titles spanning audio dramas, games and more, including ingraining herself within the community for the title Dreams, a platform enabling creators to make a variety of media. Ki is honoured to have been nominated 3 years in a row for the platform's award for best voice acting. She has also created a series on Dreams’ platform about getting a start in VA & being responsible when commissioning VA's for newer project creators. The platform's creator studio Media Molecule has also worked with Ki to present a charity stream focused on accessibility with sound and VA.

When not voice acting or streaming, Ki can usually be found doing art commissions, composing for Wolf & Magpie Media and Fluttering Abyss Studios, or pursuing her personal project of The Text Adventure Chapters. She is also an avid and classically trained singer.

Ki has also recently completed a mentorship with Jane Perry (Hitman, Baldur's Gate 3), along with recording her demos with John Schwab (Witcher series, Xenoblade Chronicles) as part of the Limit Break Mentorship.

"We had the pleasure of working with Ki on our short film "Once Upon a Kingdom". Not only is she a terrific actress with great diversity, but she's also just a blast to work with. She brought an enormous amount of dedication, positivity, and humor to all of our recording sessions. Honestly can't recommend her enough."
- Monday pictures, creator of Once Upon a Kingdom

"It was a wonderful experience to work with such a kind and talented voice actress. She would always get my vision and perform it perfectly without the needing for any redoing. It was simply easy and that good." - Lampazzu, creator of Glory Arsenal in Dreams


"In my first work with her she performed in an impressive and serious manner and she conveyed the whole feeling of the scripts. She impressed us with her wonderful performance. It was a great pleasure to invite her to work with us on our new project A Cosmic Tale 2 and she did her role... she volunteered to play the role 'Strong and evil character'. I was really not sure that she would be good at the evil character because her well-known performance is nice and charming, but here, surprisingly, [Ki] performed in a really impressive way, a completely different character, strong and evil, this really impressed me as she paid attention to the smallest details of the performance and the direction of the scripts, this was really professional and caring, she is really a professional voice actress and I had to thank her and show my gratitude to her for her efforts and her hard work in the project, I can't say better words than to say About her that she is really a professional in voice acting, and I hope to see her in other works in new projects in the future." Bohalaa, Creator of Cosmic Tale & Cosmic Tale 2 in Dreams PS4

    Ki has a very nice range of accents and tonal qualities. She did an amazing job on the ethereal angelic character of Lumina for the Audioverse Award Finalist audiofiction, Armageddon: Black Dawn. She’s friendly and professional, delivering on time and with a nice set of varied takes. I’m looking forward to working with her on a larger role for season 2 of the Armageddon Series!
