Hi 👋🏽 My name is Cenophia “Nophi”

I’m a professional voiceover talent based in NYC with a versatile vocal style as unique as my name.

Having a one-of-a-kind name means people often ask what it means. I say it means creativity, in honor of its inventor, the most creative woman I know… my mother!

I’m proud to say this apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. She has always encouraged me to be proud of all that makes me uniquely me… my perspective, artistry, imagination, and my voice!

If you’re in search of unique voice actors you’ve found one.

I love to use my vocal range like a chameleon while still being completely authentic.

As a native New Yorker, it’s a given that I keep things real.

A client once gave me some inspiring feedback…

“We chose Cenophia because her tone fits well for both male and female listeners.”

For over 10 years, I’ve worked in various genres of voiceover. Whether I’m playing the role of an encouraging Best Friend, a Conversational Professional, a Savvy Mom, an Inspired Student, an Engaging Teacher, a Poetic Storyteller, a Motivated Athlete, an Enthusiastic Employee, an Empowered Mentor, a Passionate Advocate, or representing a Strong Black Women’s Perspective, I dive into each role with honesty and authenticity. Even my younger character voices, from preschool to teenage, whether young girls or boys are often described as natural and relatable to young listeners and viewers.

My voice has been called warm and cool and I bring that “warm/cool” factor to a diverse range of projects and audiences.

My voice has also been described as:

• Real, Conversational, and Friendly

• Fun, Upbeat, and Naturally Energetic

• Youthful, Influential, and Animated.

• Motivational, Emotional, and Inspiring.

• Thoughtful, Caring, and Empathetic

• Smart, Sophisticated, and Professional

• Confident, Strong, and Knowledgeable

• Sexy, Smooth, and Attractive.

• Slightly Raspy, and “Not Announcery”

I have a naturally ambiguous and wide vocal age range:

Pre-School / Child /Teen / College-Aged / Young Adult / Gen Z / Millennial / Gen X

I have voiced characters for animation, video games, eLearning, educational programs, web series, podcasts, and various kid’s content, sometimes playing characters that speak with emotions and not actual words.

Some of my favorite roles to play include Adventurous Young Boys, Empowered Young Girls, “Mean Girl” Teens, Tech Savvy Geeks, Sinister Vixens, Brave Heroines, Sexy Bombshells, and All types of Mysteriously Evil Villains… I’m very comfortable playing natural and over-the-top characters of all ages. I’m eager to jump in to create and play while discovering a new role, and I’m often complimented on my laugh – which comes naturally since I love what I do!

I have a Standard American Accent, but as a Native New Yorker, I’m comfortable with various local dialects. I’m a Black Voice Over Talent with a youthful voice and I’m always proud to represent a Black African American Woman’s perspective or add some Black Girl Magic to a cast seeking more diverse representation. Other accents include a slight American Southern accent (thanks to the influence of my Grandparents).

Being able to sing also comes in very handy! I also work as a professional session vocalist and have a great ear for vocal matching, timing, and harmonizing. Some of my favorite jobs are when I’m able to sing song parodies or jingles along with singer friends that I’ve been singing with professionally since I was a teenager. And being a karaoke enthusiast, I find no genre of music too obscure!

I’ve also co-written songs for projects (Nickelodeon/PBS) since I was a teen, and you can usually catch me singing background vocals live with talented local artists. I have been lucky to perform at many of the most popular music venues around NYC over the years! Music will always be one of my favorite forms of expression!
