AUDIOBOOKS

Victor brings to his narrations more than 10 years of experience as a character actor and musician, as well as a degree in Film and Music Production from Vanderbilt University.

His musical ear, combined with being the son of trilingual parents and having lived all over the USA, gives him exceptional facility with accents. These include

  • Bostonian

  • New York

  • Pittsburgh

  • Southern Rhotic

  • Southern Non-Rhotic

  • Cajun

  • Texan

  • Minnesota

  • Canadian

  • French

  • German

  • Norwegian

  • Russian

  • British RP

  • Cockney

  • London

  • Glaswegian

  • Liverpudlian

  • Mancunian

  • Yorkshire

  • Irish

  • New Zealand

  • Australian

  • South African

  • Italian

In the nonfiction arena, Victor’s experience as an engineering student and a lifelong amputee also makes him intimately familiar with complicated medical and technical jargon. He also grew up no stranger to dense theological text, given that his father is a priest and his mother holds advanced degrees in Ancient Greek.

about

8x10VC_4896.jpg

Victor Clarke is a voice actor and musician from Pittsburgh, PA currently residing in Los Angeles. Between the ‘Burgh and the Valley (with a stop in Music City in between), he’s studied improv, Meisner technique, and a range of singing techniques including jazz, commercial, barbershop, and heavy metal. His acting has been described as “Phillip Seymour Hoffman meets Jack Black”

But wait— a barbershopping, metal-screaming character actor? How does that happen? Well, growing up in a golden age of animated musicals and Saturday morning cartoons with totally rad theme songs got Victor into studying these lyrics and the vocal performances behind them. Memorizing “Wakko’s America” from The Animaniacs even earned him a perfect score on a 3rd grade geography test!

Alas, geography expertise would have to take a back seat. Fast forward to 2012, when Victor graduated from Vanderbilt University with a degree of his own design spanning acting, singing, music composition, and film production. Since then Victor has continued his voice acting training with many childhood animation heroes including Eric Stuart, Crispin Freeman, and Richard Horvitz.

Audiobook work became a natural extension of this desire to create character voices out of accents, celebrity impressions and zaniest of all, real people in his life. As of now, Victor is wrapping up his 20th title.

The barbershop and metal parts happened in the ensuing years in Nashville, where Victor played bass and sang backing vocals for shock-rock miscreants Red Light Angels, and sang bass and played a host of characters including Professor Harold Hill and Yoda for the international medalist Music City Chorus. He has also had guest appearances with Rachel Mac & The Revival, Black Diamond, and the Fisk University Faculty Jazz Band.

There’s one other metal part— literally. Victor has been a double amputee from birth, medically one in a million, and enjoys being on stage not only for the thrill of it, but to increase disability representation in the media. Hollywood might have you believe all cyborgs are bent on enslaving humanity— some of them just want to make funny voices and music.
