Michael Downing

I’m Michael Downing, a versatile voice actor, singer, and audio engineer based in Chicago, IL. I specialize in bringing characters, narratives, and stories to life across a wide range of mediums—from commercials and narration to video games, animation, and podcasts. My voice spans multiple age ranges and tones, allowing me to adapt to the unique needs of each project.

In addition to voice acting, I’m a trained singer and songwriter, which gives me a strong sense of rhythm, tone, and emotional nuance—qualities that enhance every performance I deliver. I also have hands-on experience as an audio engineer, meaning I understand the technical side of recording, editing, and producing professional-quality audio. This allows me to provide clean, polished tracks and collaborate seamlessly with clients, directors, and producers.

I’m passionate about storytelling and love projects that combine creativity, emotion, and authenticity. Whether you need a compelling commercial voice, a memorable character, or a polished narration, I bring professionalism, versatility, and care to every project.
