Hi! I’m Robb Smith, a voice actor in North Augusta, South Carolina.

I really believe in the power of storytelling and that the stories that connect the most are the ones that feel like they’re being told just to you.

My background winds through radio, TV, stage performance, audio engineering, and corporate creative work, all of which taught me the same truth: a good story needs a good heart behind it. It’s what I bring to every project, whether it’s a commercial, an audio drama, a video game character, or a moment of quiet narration that helps someone breathe a little easier.

I love giving scripts life, humor, and humanity. And I’m always grateful for the chance to help a story land in a way that feels true.
