About Virginia Welch

Born and raised in Texas, Virginia Welch has always been a storyteller. Whether she was performing musicals in community theater or voicing bedtime tales with shadow puppets, she was constantly drawn to character, imagination, and connection. After graduating from the University of Hartford with a BFA in acting, Virginia studied Shakespeare in the U.K. and trained extensively in classical performance before transitioning to film and voice work. Her breakout role as Casey Anthony in Prosecuting Casey Anthony introduced her to a national audience.

Behind the mic, Virginia brings a deep understanding of performance, a collaborative spirit, and a love for detail honed during her years presenting for Toyota. Her voiceover credits include work for global brands like Jeep and ongoing training with coaches across commercial, promo, trailer, and animation genres. A proud Slytherin, passionate cook, and embroidery hobbyist, she splits her time between performing, writing about the industry, and hanging with her pets in her professional grade recording booth.
