@kayfordvaAward-Winning Voice Actor | Warm, Versatile, Character-Driven Performance
I’ve always believed that the best performances start with listening.
Long before I became a professional voice actor, I was the person who could disappear into a story, pick up the emotional thread of a character, and somehow make everyone around me care about what happened next. That instinct eventually became a career—and I still approach every script with that same curiosity.
I’m an award-winning voice actor, narrator, and classically trained singer specializing in video games, narrative performance, audiobooks, animation, eLearning, and commercial voiceover. My work ranges from character-driven performances in Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon and the upcoming Silence, Exile, and Cunning, to audiobook narration, interactive storytelling, and commercial campaigns.
I bring a warm, grounded, versatile voice to the booth, with a particular love for characters who feel lived-in rather than simply “performed.” Whether I’m playing a larger-than-life character, delivering an intimate narrative scene, or making a commercial sound like a genuine conversation, my goal is always the same: make it feel real.
I’m based in Alberta, Canada, work from a professional broadcast-quality home studio, and am happy to collaborate remotely with directors and production teams around the world.
If you’re looking for a voice that can bring warmth, energy, emotional depth, and a little bit of unexpected magic to your project, I’d love to hear from you.
I am currently training at Barron Brown Studio, where I have completed the initial 9-week foundational course and am now continuing through the first year of the program, with plans to complete the full two-year training. My work is guided by my coach, Anne Dremann, whose approach emphasizes emotional truth, grounded performance, and strong character connection.
Through this training, I focus on script analysis, scene study, and developing authentic, responsive performances that translate naturally to voiceover. The program has strengthened my ability to make specific, compelling choices and stay present in the moment, supporting more nuanced and believable character work across genres.
12-session private coaching program with Dan Friedman through his Sound4VO. Dan is the author of Zen and the Art of Voice Over and is known for his holistic, performance-centered approach that integrates mindset, technique, and authentic connection.
Our work focuses on developing a natural, grounded delivery, refining script interpretation, and strengthening consistency in performance. I am training in commercial and conversational reads, with an emphasis on clarity, intention, and booking-ready delivery, while continuing to build confidence and authenticity behind the mic.
I am currently undergoing dialect training with Patricia Fletcher, focusing on a range of accents and speech patterns for performance. Our work emphasizes accuracy, consistency, and ease of delivery, allowing me to incorporate dialects naturally into character work without losing authenticity.
Patricia is an experienced dialect coach known for her work across stage and screen, helping actors develop clear, believable accents grounded in strong vocal technique. Through this training, I am strengthening my ear for nuance, improving vocal flexibility, and expanding my ability to create distinct, fully realized characters across genres.
I am currently working privately with David Rosenthal of Global Voice Acting Academy in focused coaching sessions tailored to my current professional level. This training is centered on refining performance for video games and animation, with an emphasis on specificity, dynamic range, and physically grounded effort work (including combat and exertion sounds).
Spent two years studying as a classical singer.
I am mostly interested in video games and animation, but I love voice acting and I am open to most roles within that realm.

Currently working with her on an audio drama. She has been absolutely killing it. Lines were delivered lightning fast, she's helped other cast members and given me so much help in my first project. Cannot recommend her enough.

As a sound designer and engineer who has collaborated with many voice actors, I can confidently say her work is both outstanding and genuinely talented.
