More Than Meets the Mic * Sparkly Sound, Seasoned Soul

“A youthful, expressive voice with heart, humor, and range—whether you’re crafting a character, launching a brand, or telling a story that needs to stick.“

From coast to coast (and back again), I’ve brought stories to life with a youthful, expressive sound and a storyteller’s soul. I’m SAG-AFTRA Eligible, with experience grown on stage (theater & dance), small camera, & voice over! I have voiced a national radio commercial (ARATEX), recurring characters in podcast & social media animation series, roles in classic, drama, suspense, comedy & horror audio dramas, audiobooks & short-form narration … My sweet spot – where nuance meets connection!

I also believe in giving back! A few of the places & people I volunteer for include The VO Academy (facilitator, promos & marketing) LinkedIn’s Career Village (support & advice to emerging high school aged creatives), and I’ve happily provided pro bono work for new writers, directors and producers who are growing their talents & portfolios. I’m also a public speaker & fundraiser on behalf of CORE in Western PA. As an organ transplant recipient, it’s one way to express my gratitude for the bonus years of life I’ve been gifted!

Need a voice actor who brings talent, professionalism, & the sunniest disposition this side of the hemisphere? Let’s collaborate!

The Office Chimp, Episode 2
(Mel Rose as Deborah; Larry Mauro as Carl)
Written & Produced By Larry Mauro

Spotlight - Mel as Gracie Allen

Before George Burns became a movie star of films like “The Sunshine Boys” and “Oh God!” he was known to radio and television audiences as the grounded half of the comedy couple Burns & Allen, with real-life wife, Gracie Allen, playing the ditzy dame of the duo. They had a 25-year run on radio and tv, and now Pete Lutz has written a fresh new Burns and Allen script for projectaudion.com/podcasts and naradaradio.libsyn.com. Much like Bob Hope and Jack Benny did, we find the two of them at a naval base entertaining the troops, along with guest stars Henry Fonda and Chico Marx.

Mel Rose delivers the goods every time! Calm, soothing narration, great timing, and poignant emotions where it's needed. Stories and audio dramas are well acted, and never dull with Mel as many diverse characters.
Mark Slade
Mel Rose is a phenomenal talent—versatile, professional, and an absolute joy to work with. She brings every character to life with her distinctive voice and sharp instincts, whether she's playing Sarah in "The Water is Always Bluer" or Claire in "Null-a-path". Mel demonstrates her wide-range and mastery of the acting craft. Engaging, communicative, and genuinely invested in the creative process, I'm excited to have perform as Sparks and the Exposition Fairy in upcoming projects!
Jack J. WardSonic Cinema Productions
Mel Rose is a highly skilled voice actor, someone who can take on any role, be it a child, a young man, an old woman, or anything in-between, and make it believable. I have worked with her on many audio projects, both my own and other producers'. She is friendly and reliable, on-time, always brings her A-game, and brings a warm smile to every recording session. When I see Mel's name on a cast list, I know that the final product is going to be outstanding – and if I'm also part of that cast, that the session will be a more enjoyable experience. Anybody who considers Mel for a role in a play, or other project, will be rewarded by the choice.

Brad StormVO
Mel is a joyful, friendly, and genuinely charming person. She is fantastic at what she does, which is to make copy believable and compelling. Her voice enchants the listener with a fun and animated sense of wonder. As a storyteller, she's able to take children on a journey to a magical fantasy land of wonder and excitement, or on an playful adventure to a mythical land filled with mischievous supernatural creatures! On a personal note, Mel is one of the most kindhearted voice over talents I've ever worked with. She is a true professional. She's reliable, timely, communicative, takes direction well, and is obviously very talented. I would highly recommend her.

When it comes to her professional and communication skills, I have appreciated her timeliness, pleasant demeanor, and dedication.
