D Casellian enlivens copy with warmth, tension, sarcasm, joy- whatever the story requires to translate words on a page into living, breathing characters. She has a flair for bringing out the darkness, venturing into tough emotional territory with honesty and resilience. While character work is her specialty, she's also delighted to perform voiceover services for commercials, audio books, and IVR.Her voiceover journey began at the impressionable age of 33, when cartoons offered a refuge from the tumult of some challenging life events. Once the idea took hold it never let go, and she has worked on projects ranging from nationwide commercials to indie audio dramas ever since, including producing some of her own.

About
D is a lifelong artist and performer with a mighty need to spice up everyday life with some extra brilliance. She has a versatile mid-low voice that's as comfortable playing villains, warriors, and goddesses as it is delivering sassy, friendly, or compassionate reads.Starting in 2008, she trained, performed, and instructed in stunt work, stage combat, fire spinning, and aerial arts. D has operated a movement arts studio in Ann Arbor since 2013, teaching people with a similar need for a more epic life how to do objectively dangerous stuff for fun.When not in the booth or disqualifying herself from life insurance, D can be found button mashing her Steam Deck, watching geeky TV, playing with her preschooler, writing screenplays, singing at the top of her lungs behind the wheel, or wondering where the heck that bruise came from (it's an aerialist thing).

Writing
33 was a big year for D- it saw the beginning of her voice acting career, but also her entry into the world of screenwriting, a previously unexplored territory. Her writing focuses on unusual families and unexpected community, drawn together by commonality of struggle or experience. Characters are rendered in shades of gray- heroes fall on their flaws; villains present reasonable viewpoints.She is currently in the portfolio-building phase, with an IP-based horror feature and a one-shot sci-fi audio drama both in early drafts. Completed works, including a stunt script pilot and an original animated feature, are available for reading on request.
