Samuel Kay

I work primarily as an actor and screenwriter, but voice has always been a central part of my work—and something I genuinely enjoy. I’m especially drawn to recording, whether it’s narration, character work, or long-form audio like audiobooks.

As an actor, my credits include Sandokan and Billy’s Magic World alongside Alec Baldwin, and I’ve worked with directors such as Francis Ford Coppola, Gabriele Muccino, and Michael Winterbottom. Most recently, I worked with Peter Greenaway on Tower Stories, where I play one of the leads and give voice to Death opposite Dustin Hoffman.

My approach to voice work is rooted in my acting training. During my MFA at UCLA, I trained in microphone performance with renowned voice actor Scott Brick, which also gave me the opportunity to spend time recording at Penguin Random House studios and develop a strong understanding of audiobook production and studio work.

Alongside this, I’ve worked across different areas of voiceover—from commercial work with Migrante Content in Los Angeles, to dubbing for streaming platforms, ADR, and audiobook recording.

I record from a professional home studio (condenser microphone, treated environment, Logic Pro), and I’m comfortable working across a range of tones, from natural and conversational to more stylized, character-driven performances.

At the core of it, I approach voice work as performance—always focused on clarity, rhythm, and connection to the text.
