voice actor
Animated film talent
A voice actor is a performer who provides voices for animated characters, video games, audiobooks, commercials, or dubbed films—any medium where the actor is heard but not seen.
The work demands vocal range and the ability to convey emotion without physical presence: She's a voice actor for several anime series.
Also called voice-over artist.
