More About Maria Pendolino

Professional Voiceover Actor

Maria Pendolino is a professional female voiceover talent from Buffalo, New York. For political voiceover spots, you can count on her to be the trusted, warm & friendly voice for a candidate’s image ad. Or, a firm, authoritative and aggressive voice for an attack or negative spot. As a talented voice actor, you can count on Maria to deliver a real read for first-person and citizen testimonials. Maria is skilled in political voiceover recording and production and is proud to be one of the best working voiceover actors available today.

With a background in acting across theater, television, and film, Maria finally found a cozy home in the voiceover booth. During her career, she has acted in over 40 stage plays and musicals, appeared on Lifetime’s hit drama “Army Wives” as a recurring character, was a guest re-enactment star on Nat Geo’s addictive series “Locked Up Abroad” and played the hilarious lunch lady Eunice on Cartoon Network’s teen series “Team Toon.” She was also in the hit Bollywood movie “English Vinglish” that premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival.

She jokes that she “retired” to upstate/Western New York for the real estate, but as a bonus, she also got to be closer to her large (and loud) extended Italian and German families.

Maria began her freelance voiceover career in 2010 and since then has worked with brands, production companies and studios around the globe to bring their diverse content to life. Maria specializes in voiceover for television and radio commercials, pre-roll streaming commercials and social media advertising, internet radio like Pandora, Spotify and iHeart Radio, explainer videos, e-learning and educational content, corporate narration, political voiceover, live announcing (Voice of God) for awards shows and conferences, in-app narration, voiceover for AR and VR experiences, telephone systems and IVR, radio imaging (CHR, Hot AC, Adult Contemporary, Country, Rock) and she is also a master of character voices and accents and regularly provides voices for animated characters, interactive and video games. Maria had the honor of narrating the audiobook for her sister’s smash title “Wedding Planning for the Busy Feminist”, which is available on Amazon and Audible.

Maria’s voice is mid-range to low tones – perfect to represent the girl next door, the young mom, your female coworker, the girlfriend, the wife and the impassioned young woman.

While not an impressionist, Maria is often hired when clients are looking for a celebrity sound and read like Scarlett Johansson, Anna Kendrick, Melissa McCarthy, Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Jennifer Lawrence, Emma Stone, Kate McKinnon, Mila Kunis and more.

Maria lives in the suburbs of Buffalo, New York with her husband Eric, a GIS Mapping Consultant (read: A Map Nerd) and their three rescue cats: Two Scoops, Mozzie, and Panini.
