PAXSON HELGESEN
VOICE ACTOR
Hi there. My name is Paxson. I’m a Seattle, WA based voice actor originally from Chicago, IL.
I have spent most of my life at the intersection of performance and content creation. I’m an actor, musician, audio engineer, and sound designer (among other things!) who has been fortunate to work on both sides of the glass for commercials, film, and AAA video games.
Voice acting started for me while working on video game projects, I often found myself in the booth recording creature vocalizations and temp combat efforts for characters when I realized how much I enjoyed bringing new characters to life. This led to falling in love with improv, and an acting journey I have never looked back on.
I love collaborating with others to help bring new stories to life. So let’s create something great together!
When i’m not in the booth, you’ll find me spending time with my partner and our two dogs (Mercury and Bowie,) in a long-running D&D campaign, or spending time out in nature in the beautiful PNW.
