About Me

Learn more about Kiran Kumar with some Quick Facts and why you'll love working with him!

I have a master’s degree in music technology and, prior to becoming a full-time actor, worked for seven years as an audio programmer at Dolby, Apple, and a 2K-owned AAA game studio. No, I don’t know what’s wrong with your printer.

I fully believe that diversity makes us stronger and that underrepresented groups need and deserve more opportunity.

When I was 27, I taught my first graduate school class as an adjunct professor. When I was 28, I got my first internship. Life is strange like that.

In high school, I played clarinet, tenor saxophone and trumpet and was one of the marching band’s drum majors. Please don't ask me about that one time at band camp....

My first job out of college was helping hospitals and home care agencies use the medical record software our company developed. During one visit to a hospital the week they went live with our software, a nurse flipped me off. Apparently I got off easy.

Quick Fun Facts

Well, not to brag, but I do have a mouth, and I can make sound come out of it. But besides that…

Industry Experience & Training. In addition to the credits listed on my home page and resume, I have had the immense privilege of training under some of the finest voice actors in the business, including:

Professional. No(n)-disclosure, no problem! I’ve worked with sensitive patient medical and billing records and have written software for products years before they were announced to the public. I know how to keep secrets.

On-time! When you teach university classes and work in corporate settings, you learn to be punctual (read: early).
Respectful, compassionate! Regardless of your title or station, I will treat you like the worthy human being that you are.
Prepared, warmed up! Your time is valuable. So is mine. You don’t need to waste precious studio minutes listening to me doing lip trills.
Collaborative, ego-free! I get that I’m one piece of a much larger puzzle. I don’t have all the answers but I’m happy to contribute my thoughts when appropriate. I will also take direction and run with it.
Clear, prompt communication! Again, your time is valuable. I love to have fun, but I also recognize crunch time when I see it. I’ll respond quickly and with the answer(s) you need!
