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.

Recordings
When time permits between all the metal and barbershop, Victor likes to dust off his classical training in the company of Phi Mu Alpha brothers from around the country in the Men of Song Chorus, which performs annually at Phi Mu Alpha's national conventions and regional "Leadership Institutes". Victor sang with the group in 2011, 2012, and 2013 and hopes to be back this summer!
Red Light Angels
As "The Cyborg" Viktör Von, Victor provides bass guitar and backing vocals for Nashville-based theatrical rock band Red Light Angels, an original act comparable in style to Alice Cooper and early Motley Crue. Check out their debut EP below, available on iTunes, Spotify, and all other digital platforms and keep an eye on the Appearances page for upcoming shows!

about
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.
