About Me

MariSkyVA, otherwise known as Mari, is a 22 year-old Korean-American voice actor from the Chicago area. Taking experience from a couple theater classes that she took in high school, she began voice acting back in 2016, voicing various characters for smaller projects such as LEGO animations and comic dubs with only the recording app on her cell phone as her microphone.
After graduating with an Associate's degree in science in 2023 and becoming represented by Lori Lins Ltd. in Chicago, Mari has now decided to try pursuing voiceover full time.

Testimonials


BaxterVA

"I was really happy with the way Mari stepped up and voiced one of my characters, Mari is an incredibly talented person who knows how to voice the younger male characters. At first, I was like "huh? how is this gonna work", and then my mind had been blown away and had given me an idea of how the character was played turned out.
Even if Mari isn't a perfect VA and faced challenges and we all face them too, Mari went beyond the limit and made Emphasis, a character that I made a video game on recently, sound perfectly well as a young teenage boy!
If you are looking for anyone that can play a young protagonist or a character that is a child or a teenager, I recommend this person to you for future projects, just be sure to guide and give a good explanation so that the way your character is voiced can also be given an idea!
Very talented individual overall!"

"Mari has a range of voice and tends to be someone understanding to the topic of emotions when it comes to voice acting, and putting her on the team wouldn’t just be good for voices you need, but also someone who knows how to help and have fun!!!"


ZephyrKidVA

"I am delighted to recommend MariSkyVA as a professional voice actor. She has worked alongside me to help create various user generated content videos and has displayed exceptional vocal range in relation to the large variety of characters she has been able to voice. Mari is very quick to record the dialogue she has been assigned and is eager to receive feedback so she can improve her skills regularly.
She is also highly supportive of other voice actors and has shown proficient leadership skills by collaboration with a variety of users to create an assortment of user generated content. Mari has been wonderful to work with, she is very friendly and enthusiastic, contributing significant energy towards each project and quick to adapt to any and all changes/feedback.
In conclusion I highly recommend MariSkyVA if their performance within her own and other user generated content is any indication of her skills as a voice actor. Mari will certainly be an excellent choice for any position/role she is capable of filling."


Leon Logan

"MariSkyVA: perhaps one of the most talented people I’ve worked with and a voice actress who continues to hone her craft above and beyond what is given her. One of the things I admire about Mari is her commitment to the character – she isn’t afraid to ask questions and does her best to nail the performance based on the direction given. She has extensive knowledge with working with other voice actors, and gets along with her peers very well! It is a pleasure to see such dedication and talent within the voice acting community, and Mari embodies the apex of these virtues!
I wish Mari all the best in her continuing journey in voice acting, and highly recommend her for your projects!"


Vasko Games

"I had a wonderful time working with Mari on my project. She not only brought passion and excitement to her role, but she also showed a level of professionalism that surpassed expectations.
Mari took some time to discuss the character with me and get a good feel for the right kind of voice. And she also nailed the pronunciation of some obscure and game specific words.
Overall, it was a pleasure to work with her and I would gladly recommend her for whatever project you may have!"


Andria Ainoo

"Mari is definitely a pleasure to work with. She was able to capture what I was looking for. I definitely recommend you check her out.
She has some serious talent and I believe that she will go far.
If you are looking for someone who is going to take the role seriously and step into the character, Mari is definitely the VA for the job."


Lea Jordanova

"I was incredibly impressed with Mari's work!
I had no notes back to give because it was exactly what I wanted first try. The energy was perfectly matched, emotion on point...it was hard to choose between takes because they were all so good!
As someone who struggles a bit with audio mixing and making recordings sound high-quality, she really saved me with her professional-level files.
You should expect nothing but high quality from her~"
