The Gen Z Voice You Can Trust

Looking for a voice that can connect with younger audiences without the typical headaches of working with Gen Z? I'm your girl! I get it, Gen Z can be...a lot. But, as an actor with over a decade of storytelling experience in theatre, film, TV, commercials, and voiceover, professionalism may as well be my middle name.

You need a story to be brought to life? Great! That's my specialty. I can make any script (even the "boring" ones) interesting and engaging for listeners. More than an actor, I'm a business professional. My home studio has been used to record broadcast-quality audio for major clients. And with the availability for directed sessions via Source Connect, Zoom, or any other platform that works for you, we can wrap up your project in no time!

Tired of people that don't respond to emails or don't pick up the phone? Me too. I know how much work you put into a project, and timeliness will never hold you up with me. With a turn-around time of less than 12 hours, I am here to serve you promptly with quality. You need a young voice you can actually trust? Let's get to work!

Happy Clients

What Clients Are Saying...

Lauren was great to work with from start to finish! She was quick to respond and very professional in all of her communication. She was also the perfect voice for this project- she has a very natural and inviting sound, and she was able to modulate well to fit within the tight pacing guidelines. We would love to work with Lauren again!

Alexa D., Head of Audio at NBC News Studios - Dead Certain Podcast

I can't exactly describe the sensation I felt when I first heard actress Lauren McDowell reading portions of Martha Moxley's 1975 diary entries. Gratitude that NBC News Studios, Alexa Danner, cast her and chills hearing Martha's voice--or what I imagine it absolutely could have sounded like since I never came across any recordings of her. Thank you, Lauren.
