Hi ๐๐ฝ My name is Cenophia aka โNophiโย
Iโm a professional voiceover talent based in NYC with a 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 knowโฆ my mother!
Iโm proud to say this apple doesnโt fall far from the tree. She has always encouraged me to be proud of all that makes me uniquely meโฆ my perspective, artistry, imagination, and my voice!
If youโre searching for unique voice actors, youโve found one.
I love to use my vocal range like a chameleon while still being completely authentic.
As a native New Yorker, itโs a given that I keep things real.
A client once gave me some inspiring feedbackโฆ
โWe chose Cenophia because her tone fits well for both male and female listeners.โย
For over 10 years, Iโve worked in various voiceover genres (Animation, Commercials, Childrenโs Content, eLearning, Explainer Videos, Video Games, and much more). Whether Iโm 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 Womenโs 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.ย
My voice has been called warm and cool, and I bring that โwarm/coolโ factor to a diverse range of projects and audiences.
My voice is described by clients in many ways, which speaks to my versatity:
โข Real, Conversational, and Friendly
โข Fun, Upbeat, and Naturally Energetic
โข Youthful, Influential, and Animated.
โข Motivational, Emotional, and Inspiring.
โข Thoughtful, Caring, and Empathetic
โข Smart, Sophisticated, and Professional
โข Confident, Strong, and Knowledgeable
โข Sexy, Smooth, and Attractive.
โข Slightly Raspy, and โNot Announceryโ
My Versatile Vocal Range
My voice naturally spans a wide and adaptable range with a vocal tone that is versatile and age-ambiguous, making it easy to play a variety of characters and age groups:
Pre-School / Child /Teen / College-Aged / Young Adult / Gen Z / Millennial / Gen Xย
My range is perfect for projects that need flexibility or have a message for a broad audience. Iโve even played characters that speak with emotions and not actual words, connecting with listeners in spite of any language barriers.
Some of my favorite roles to play include Adventurous Young Boys, Empowered Young Women, โMean Girlโ Teens, Tech Savvy Geeks, Sinister Vixens, Brave Heroines, Sexy Bombshells, and Mysteriously Evil Villainsโฆ Iโm very comfortable playing natural and over-the-top characters. Iโm eager to jump in to create and play while discovering a new role, and Iโm often complimented on my laugh, which comes naturally since I love what I do!
Connecting with Diverse Audiences
As an African American Female Voiceover Talent, I bring that authenticity to projects aimed at diverse audiences or that prioritize inclusion.
I have a Standard American Accent, but as a New York City Native, Iโm comfortable with various local dialects. As a Black Female Voice Actor, Iโm always proud to represent an African American Womanโs 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).
My Voiceover Foundation: Acting and Beyond
Iโve always known acting was my passion. I majored in Theater with honors in High School and continue studying acting, now focusing specifically on the craft of voiceover. Itโs the foundation, among many other skills, I use to give my best to each voiceover project.
I use my imagination, as an Actor, but also โAct what I knowโ, using my life experiences, knowledge, and observations to fuel genuine performances. My authenticity in the tech space comes from years spent as an Apple ๏ฃฟ Certified Technician, allowing me to make complex technology feel approachable and understandable in my voiceovers. My years of educational theater experience for young audiences inform how I reach, inspire, and engage audiences of kids and teen content, no matter the topic.ย
Singing Voice Talent/Session Vocalist
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 Iโm able to sing song parodies or jingles along with singer friends that Iโve been singing with professionally since we were teens, and being a karaoke enthusiast, I find no genre of music too obscure!
Iโve co-written songs for projects (Nickelodeon/PBS/Jim Henson Productions) as a youth producer, and you can usually catch me singing background vocals live or in the studio 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!
