Maria Vu
Memphis, TN
Highlights
Maria Vu is a professional voice over artist who is great a being a brat, a sexy operator, an over-protective mom, a hip teenager, a seductive villain, a hard working space patrol woman, and a bored little boy just wanting to cut some waves with his surf board---and that is only a few of the voices she can do. Some of her credits include Kroger, HP, Poplar Pike Medical Center, Macy's, And a slew of animation titles at Funimation Entertainment. Maria has the ability to chameleon her voice to suit every genre of voice acting ranging from audio books, commercials and industrials to animation, video games and promos.
Maria also has an FCC license for radio and has done tons of image tracking for stations locally as well as produce commercials for KDS in Dallas, Texas.
