Rachel Robinson
Los Angeles, CA, United States
Highlights
Rachel Robinson's voice is velvet gravel; hot chocolate with a little whiskey. Deep, rich, refined throatiness with a wink wink nudge nudge when necessary. She has taken on following incarnations: Trustworthy, sincere, alluring, relaxed, sensual, exuberant, youthful, tongue-in-cheek, sarcastic, knowledgeable, and grave.

"Sure, Rachel's got those Golden Pipes that get her stopped in the supermarket. But because we all know no Stradivarius is worth a nickel unless ya' know how to play it, I will proudly testify that Rachel works the instrument of her voice with an gut-level rhythm and timing that is tuned to perfection. She gets the jokes and gets to the session on time. As her coach, I would love to take all the credit for why she's one of the easy-breezy best I've encountered in over a decade, but I'm sure I will have to get in line behind her mother, her genetics, and Ginny McSwain." -Nancy Wolfson
"You have a wonderful "instrument", Rachel. Keep working it out...people would kill for your chops." -Ginny McSwain
" 'Hamlet advised the actor "to hold, as 'twere, the mirror up to nature...' Rachel Robinson holds up a funny mirror. She delightfully distorts reality. It makes teaching her a challenge. Difficult to instruct when tears of laughter are streaming down my cheeks. -Patrick Fraley, Voice-Over Teacher
