No, her voice isn't automated and she's not a Siri. Queen Noveen is the 'voice of God'

LOS ANGELES — Throughout Queen Noveen's life, a common compliment she's received — whether she was reading aloud in class or having a conversation with a stranger — was that she had a distinctive voice.

Shortly after starring in her first play at the age of 7, the South Windsor, Connecticut, native joined the Hartford Stage company and began performing live theater and acting in commercials. But it wasn't until she graduated from AMDA: College and Conservatory of the Performing Arts in Los Angeles that she even thought of pursuing a career as a voice actor.

"I didn't know what voice-over work was," says 32-year-old Queen Noveen, which is her stage name, adding that the niche wasn't available at her college at the time. "I think when people want to get into the entertainment industry, the first thing they think about is being in front of the camera, being an actor or being a musician because that's what you see."

Because voice-over performers work behind the scenes, they are somewhat "out of sight, out of mind," she adds. Though people may not recognize her face, Queen Noveen's powerful and slightly raspy tone has served as the voice for characters in video games like the BAFTA-winning game "," animated kids" in the industry. Voice-over is a production technique in which a voice is recorded off-screen and used for animation, video games and other productions. Live announcing is a form of voice-over that is performed during live productions such as awards shows and corporate events, and public address (PA) announcers speak during gatherings such as stadium games.
