MEET BRANDON DAVIS

Tell us a little about you, off-screen/off-mic, what makes you tick?

Off-screen and off-mic, I’m honestly a pretty simple guy with a lot of interests. I’m a gamer, I collect Funko Pops and comics, I love working out, reading, and learning about ancient history. I’m naturally curious, so I’m always looking for something new to learn or experience.

What really makes me tick, though, is storytelling. Whether I’m playing a video game, reading a comic, watching a movie, or studying history, I’m fascinated by characters, worlds, and the people who bring them to life. I think that curiosity is a huge part of what drew me to acting and voice acting.

Other than voice acting, what else do you do in the creative industry?

I’m also an on-screen actor. Acting has given me the opportunity to work across film and television, and I’ve been fortunate enough to take on a variety of characters.

I really enjoy the contrast between on-camera acting and voice acting. On camera, you have your physicality, facial expressions, and presence. Behind the mic, you have to create all of that through your voice alone. I love being able to work in both worlds.

What was the motivation behind your decision to begin voice acting?

Honestly, video games were a huge part of it. I’ve always loved gaming, and I became fascinated with the people behind the characters—the voices that could make a character feel larger than life.

Eventually I realized, Why can’t I be one of those voices?

That question really stuck with me. I started exploring voice acting, and the more I learned, the more I realized how much I loved the craft. It became about more than simply having a deep or interesting voice. I wanted to learn how to act with it—to create characters, emotions, worlds, and moments that people could actually feel.

What are some of your favorite genres that you are interested in narrating or doing voice acting for?

Video games and animation are definitely at the top of my list. I love character-driven material, especially fantasy, action, horror, sci-fi, and anything that gives me an opportunity to really transform.

I’m also very interested in narration, particularly fantasy, horror, children’s books, and stories with strong characters and immersive worlds. And honestly, I love anything that challenges my range. If someone tells me, “We have a character you probably can’t do,” my first thought is usually, “Okay…let’s see.”

Are there any topics that you would not want to narrate, if any of the horror authors in our readership would want to contact you for work?

I’m pretty open-minded when it comes to storytelling, including horror. Horror is actually a genre I really enjoy because it gives you so much room to explore tension, fear, darkness, and psychological depth.

That said, I do believe there are certain lines that can be crossed depending on how material is handled. I’m always interested in discussing a project, understanding the story and expectations, and making sure it’s something I can authentically get behind.

What book would you love the chance to narrate?

I would absolutely love the opportunity to narrate a great fantasy or dark-fantasy novel—something with a massive world, memorable characters, battles, creatures, and mythology.

I’m especially drawn to stories where I can create a whole cast rather than simply read the words. Give me a story with warriors, monsters, kings, villains, and creatures, and I’m going to have a lot of fun with it. A dream project would be something that allows me to disappear into the world and make every character feel distinct.

Who is your favorite voice actor or narrator?

That is a dangerous question because I have several. Lol.

Mark Hamill is a huge inspiration. His ability to completely transform himself vocally and create unforgettable characters is incredible. Alek Le, Chris Sabat, Regina King, Tara Strong, Chris Judge, TC Carson, Lance Reddick (Gone but not FORGOTTEN) and Rick Wasserman are also voices and performers I really admire.

What I love about all of them is that they don’t just sound different—they act differently. That’s the goal for me. I don’t want someone listening to my work thinking, “That’s Brandon doing a voice.” I want them thinking, “That’s the character.”

What has been the hardest learning curve? The easiest?

The hardest part has probably been learning just how much goes into professional voice acting beyond simply having a good voice.

Breath control, consistency, character choices, emotional truth, microphone technique, timing, stamina, and learning how to take direction—all of those things matter. You can have a great voice and still have a lot to learn.

The easiest part for me has probably been finding different characters vocally. My voice naturally has a lot of depth and flexibility, and I’ve always enjoyed experimenting with accents, tones, personalities, and character types. The challenge has been turning that natural range into a repeatable professional skill.

I listened to many of your narration clips and you have killer range. Is there a specific voice you love more than others? Which is the most difficult?

I have a real soft spot for darker, deeper characters. Villains, warriors, monsters, intimidating authority figures... that territory is a lot of fun for me.

But I also love discovering voices that people wouldn’t necessarily expect from me. That’s where I really get excited. The most difficult voices are usually the ones furthest away from my natural register, especially higher-pitched or extremely youthful characters. That’s also what makes them fun. If something is difficult, it gives me something to work toward.

Where would you love to be five years from now in this career?

Five years from now, I want voice acting to be a major part of my career…not just something I’m pursuing, but something I’ve built a real reputation around.

I’d love to be working consistently in video games, animation, commercials, audiobooks, and other forms of character-driven VO. I would love to have characters that people recognize purely by hearing my voice.

And yes, I absolutely want to be in the video game world. That’s one of the biggest reasons I started this journey in the first place. Ultimately, I want to build a career where I can walk into a session, see a character I’ve been cast to play, put on the headphones, and know that I earned my place there.

Is there anything else that you would like to share with our readers?

I would just say: don’t underestimate what can happen when you refuse to quit.

I’m still growing. I’m still learning. I’m still chasing bigger opportunities. But I’ve learned that you don’t have to have everything figured out before you start. If there’s something you love, take the first step. Learn the craft. Take the criticism. Get better. Keep showing up.

For me, voice acting isn’t about simply having a “cool voice.” It’s about becoming a better actor, telling better stories, and hopefully creating characters that stay with people long after they’ve heard them.

And if I can make somebody forget they’re listening to an actor and make them believe they’re listening to a real character—that’s the win.
