About Mike Badgley

Hey there! I'm Mike Badgley (mabVO), a professioanl voice actor in New York City with 5+ years of professional experience.

You can hear me in videogames (Cairn, Citizen Sleeper 2 - the trailer, Defend Khaldoria, Jade Empire...), audio dramas (Deepfake, The Wolf's Shadow, Elevators v. Lifts...), commercials for major brands (Wix, Pega, BottleBottle...), and other secret stuff.

I'm always looking to help bring the work of passionate artists' to life!

Whether you need a playful, sarcastic, charming baritone, or an energetic, friendly, conversational read, I can operate well across a range of genres and styles.

I would love to help bring your next project to life!

Some fun facts about me for those still glued to the screen: While at Harvard, I worked at the college radio station WHRB and even got my first voice over credit there in a radio play written and performed by members of the station! I earned a PhD in cancer biology (please don't ask how long it took) from Columbia University, which means I can read big words good (I'm looking at you, medical narration). I sing wherever I can, whether outdoors in NYC or at my local karaoke bar. I stay up too late. I'm a published writer. I'm a father of two. I love Vanilla Coke. And, I do, in fact, believe NYC pizza is the best.

Thanks for dropping by and I hope we get to work together soon!

What Mike Badgley is looking for

I specialize in character work (video games, animation) commercials, narration, and audio dramas. I've worked on e-learning projects, online promo, multiple mobile games, and 3D animation too! Here on Casting Call Club, I hope to meet other like-minded creatives so that we can collaborate to create compelling experiences and stories for others! I was also in my 3rd grade Christmas play. I was the Little Drummer Boy.

    This guy was really awesome to work with! Communicating with him was easy and he was clearly passionate with his work. The diversity in his takes gave me many angles to choose from. He really helped shape the character that was just a bud of an idea. 

  • @joseph-barnes

    Mike is truly one-of-a-kind, in both voice acting and a human being! 

    Talented, extraordinarily hard working and genuine, the irrepressible charisma Mike brought to the role of Phantom on our project can only be matched by his comprehensive communication that always eased my mind, earnest passion, quality audio, punctuality and commitment. He was receptive and provided a variety to reads offering many possibilities for the character, and help perfect the script and his performance. Even when he's busy, he'll find the time to deliver the lines in for your project.

      
    Mike specialises in helping bring your project to life: be it professional, fandubs, original work and more. I couldn't be more grateful to have someone a part of our fan project with the echelons of professionalism and quality he has. Mike has been my hero, a blessing to any project with him involved in.   

  • @eris-serenity

    Mike is one of those voice actors that goes above and beyond what the script asks for. He has a natural talent for ad-libbing and making the scene come to life. He was amazing to work with, super accommodating and very timely. I would highly reccomend Mike for any project you might have. He will take your idea to the next level. 

  • @zhouca

    Mike was a great voice actor to work with, and was super helpful during the process too! He's very good at ad-libbing as well as following directions. I gave him two characters, and he managed to make them both sound distinct and full of life!

  • @smol-spaghettorium

    We had the pleasure of working with Mike Badgley, and the experience was excellent from start to finish 💯.
    He delivered high-quality voice acting work. He provided multiple takes so we could pick exactly what we needed for project, and kept communication clear and professional throughout.

    His turnaround time was very fast, and he was reliable at every step. We would gladly work with Mike again and we confidently recommend him to anyone looking for a skilled and dependable voice actor 😁

  • @weird-chicken-games

    Mike spoke "Milan" one of our main character in our game "Tower Alchemist". Its always a nice experience working with Mike. We get a bunch of different styles and can choose from whatever we like most. Thanks <3

    Mike is an incredible voice actor. He took our insane minded NPC for our DnD campaign and gave him life. My party was so blown away with his voice that we played it twice during our stream. He was super easy to work with and has a very personable personality. Don't pass up a chance to work with him. I know I'd love to work with him again.
