About Me

Hi! I’m Tom Schalk, a professional voice actor who people (possibly you!) have heard in ANIMATIONS (“The Means of Destruction”, “Idle Hands”, “The Everything is Okay Show”), VIDEO GAMES (“Civilization VII”, “SMITE”, “Poppy Playtime”, “Visions of Mana”), COMMERCIALS (Clorox, Homes.com, T-Mobile), AUDIO DRAMAS (“Cabin Tales”, “Hannahpocalypse”, “Adventures Across Time”) and many other works recorded from the confines of a broadcast-quality home studio dungeon.A New York-based New Yorker and a Queens College alumnus in the field of Media Studies, I started voice acting back in 2011 with the aspiration to bring characters to life. From personal projects to collaborations to professional clientele, my mission was to build a resume that showcased a diverse range of performances and a passion for the art of acting. Really, I just wanted an excuse to talk to myself out loud, and then people started paying me to do it, so it worked out.

Testimonials

"Tom’s work ethic matches the quality of performance you hear him in anywhere. His committed service, ability to communicate and authentic dedication to going the extra mile makes him one of the best individuals to work in any industry regarding sound (voice over, direction, mixing, music writing, the resources can go on). A collaborator of mine for years and a proud addition to any production I have seen him in, Tom should be considered a staple in any voiceover opportunity both creatively and professionally."

Martin Lis (Director, Producer)

" Tom is an abject professional and a true pleasure to work with. The versatility of his voice is equally matched by his expressive range! You could give Tom a dozen characters to play and expect an entirely different experience every time, save for the creativity and passion that he will deliver with every single performance! "

Reece Bridger (Director)

"Tom is the most devoted creative powerhouse I have ever had the honor of casting and directing. Working with him, you're not only bringing in the quality and respect the job deserves, but doubling the investment through his passion for ever improving his work and adding his own hilarious inventiveness to the script."

Maxi Molina (Creator of The Hayseed Knight)

"Ew."

Amanda Hufford (Fellow Actor who just adores me)

“Tom Schalk’s talents know no bounds. Not only an astute professional in every sense of the word, but also what I’d call the “client’s friend”; he is so in tune with people, it’s impossible for him not to know exactly what you need, when you need it. This, in combination with a frankly absurd mixing pot of raw artistic talent, renders him an absolute dream to work with. If you are in need of a voice actor, or director, or writer, or sound editor/mixer, Tom can give you exactly what you need, down to the most minute of details. His only failing really is that he sucks at Scrabble. So maybe if you’re looking for a good Scrabble player, look elsewhere.
For those other things though? He’s your man. Unconditionally.
"

John Whinfield (Actor, Friend, Won our last Scrabble game by about 41 points)

"Tom has been an absolute pleasure to work with. He really shines in his ability to essentially hone in on what's needed with the roles he voices, or music lyrics he writes. I was practically bedazzled by both his service and performance with the characters we cast him for. He absolutely knows what he's doing."

Dominic Conliffe (Game Developer, Drowsy Drake Studios)

"His voice work is as fantastic as his personality. His ability to perform under strict direction (told to loudly scream over and over again) is also to be commended. Highly recommended!!"

Bruva Alfabusa (Director)

"I had a great time working with Tom! He's been really good with communication, very friendly and listened to my feedback really well. I definitely recommend him!"
