Voice actor, writer, AAF-Cleveland President, and Scene Magazine’s 2023 “Best Poet” Amanda Terman
Professional Voice Over Talent
I’m a professional voice over talent with a broadcast-quality home studio in Cleveland, Ohio.
Outside the booth, I’m a pan-genre creative writer, the President for my local American Advertising Federation, and a nationally recognized former research scientist.
Voice actor for all media
At my Midwestern studio, I collaborate with clients around the world. My voice can be heard internationally in all media including commercials, e-learning, animation, and more.
I’m best known for imbuing conversational voiceover with youthful gravitas and cheeky wit, but I moonlight (and daylight) as the world’s #1 sarcastic dry voice actor.
Award-winning writer and scholar
Outside the booth, I’m an award-winning writer. Cleveland Scene Magazine named me the city’s 2023 Best Poet and the 2021 Best Playwright. My credits include two Off-Off-Broadway one-act dramedies, spoken word poetry, plus an Amazon best-selling vocabulary edu-tainment series.
BTW, I also provide content writing for my voiceover clients. (If you need help with a script, please ask!)
Full-time voice actor Amanda Terman (who is also an occasional playwright) visits NYC for the premiere of her play “Two Boy and a Box of Bullets.”
Education and training
Like many voice artists, I have extensive acting and singing training; but unlike most others, I was (briefly!) a research scientist studying social attitudes and teaching university classes.
Performance training
I started out in musical theater, and later trained as a classical singer: I have a B.A. in music/voice (summa cum laude with both honors and research distinction) from The Ohio State University. After graduation, my on-camera and on-mic performance training continued with top coaches in LA and NYC—and you can still find me honing my skills at regular workshops and conferences. These days, I also teach voiceover classes for a variety of local arts organizations.
Social psychology education
Jazz hands aside, I’m a sensible individual, so during college, I also completed a B.S. in psychology (same honors as above) and a minor in statistics at OSU. This led to a brief stint as as a research psychologist: I earned my master's degree in social psychology from UC Santa Barbara, while receiving honors from the National Science Foundation, and teaching psychology, research methods, statistics, and writing to university students.

Performing Credits
After my grad-school detour, I joyfully returned to the performing arts.
Stage + Film Credits
Some of my favorite theatre and film credits include a touring musical theater production of Pinocchio, a cyberpunk serialized feature film called Swerve (starring Miami Vice's John Diehl and The Mindy Project's Beth Grant), and an award-winning rom-com short titled Love Fool, which won the 10-10-10 competition at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival.
Improv Comedy
Also, I was a proud member of Awesome Town, an improv comedy troupe led by Emmy-winning writer Bill Steinkellner.
And then I discovered . . .
