About Mike Badgley

Hey there! I'm Mike Badgley (mabVO), a voice actor in New York City.

I've performed in audio dramas, independent film, mobile video games, learning apps, and all sorts of stuff! And 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 operate well across a range of genres and styles.

With professional instruction in acting, public speaking , and music (coupled with a mild addiction to videogames), 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 commercials, narration, and video game characters. I've worked on e-learning projects, online promo, multiple mobile games, and 3D animation. 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.

    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.
