Tiffany May is a New York City based theatre and voice actor, storyteller, and teaching artist.

Her voice has an earthy texture accented by a ‘lovable rasp’ which warms up any script. Relatable, trustworthy and real, Tiffany’s tone reflects her unique personality and background. She loves to receive direction and collaborate to help create and fulfill each project, quickly and reliably.
Tiff has been trained in Musical Theater at the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music and in Drama at Circle in the Square Theatre School; improv/storytelling at the Upright Citizens Brigade and The People’s Improv Theatre. She also is a real life Miss Frizzle- a complete science dork.
She has a Masters in Earth Science Education, was a tenured New York City Public School Earth Science teacher and scientific researcher in the field of Geochemistry through a fellowship at Columbia University.
She has worked in the field next to renowned scientists in Wyoming and Australia, which has greatly expanded her rock collection.
After teaching about stars and plate tectonics, she followed her dream to be a voice actor. She still flexes her teacher muscles educating young voice actors at Juilliard, the Colorado Fine Arts Center, the Brooklyn Montessori School, and remotely with Kool Kids Voice Acting.
A member of Actors Equity Association, she has performed as a professional actress regionally and in New York City. Favorite roles include Ariel in ‘The Tempest,’ Hermia in ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream,’ Gilmer in ‘Godspell,’ and Maggie in ‘Dancing at Lughnasa.’ She dwells in the Big Apple, and still loves her magical rocks and observing wild weather patterns. Tiff is an avid participant in the Coney Island Mermaid Day Parade, is obsessed with the octopus, tsunamis and the Yellowstone Supervolcano.
What People Say
“Tiffany is an excellent voice actor who brings an incredible amount of personality to the roles that she voices, has impeccable comedic timing, and is somehow blessed with the wonderful ability to voice two distinct characters at the same time without you even being able to tell them apart. She takes direction extremely well, delivers quality work on time, and above all, she voices a mean pair of cartoon birds! So if you like the sound of that for your animation project, then she’s your girl!”
“Tiffany rocks. We’ve had a long working relationship with her across multiple campaigns, and are always pleased with the results. Tiffany is professional and courteous, but has a rare gift. Her voice is full of life and soul, but also intention. She is able to see through the scripted words to deliver meaning to her voiceovers, and a true connection with the viewer.
We look forward to collaborating with her again soon!”
“We’ve had the privilege of collaborating with Tiffany on dozens of projects over the last several years and she’s never failed to wow us. While her skills are undeniable—including her incredible range, her near-superhuman ability to produce consistently awesome work under even the most ridiculous deadlines, and her talent for not just grasping but complementing our unique vision for each project—it’s her ability to infuse everything she does with her signature brand of warmth, charm, and authenticity that really elevates her work to the realm of Something Special. In short, Tiffany is the bee’s knees, and a joy to work with, both personally and professionally.”
“Working with Tiffany has been a delight. She interprets direction very well and often gives us several variations on a number of reads. She’s very good at making herself available and has always come through on jobs with tight turnaround times.
She’s both talented and passionate and she makes my job a little less difficult and a lot more fun.”
“Tiffany is a joy to work with. She approaches every project with enthusiasm and professionalism. She takes direction with a smile and doesn’t even flinch at our impossibly short turn-around requirements. (Just one step shy of “pick up your VO at the second window.”) Add that to her fresh, unique sound that cuts through the “same-old, same-old” clutter on the air and you can see why she’s way up on our go-to list for female talent.”
“We originally hired Tiffany to play a character voice in a radio commercial. Since then we’ve used her on several different types of projects from retail to nonprofit for both character and announcer roles on radio, TV and web videos. She is an absolute pleasure to work with – great attitude, good communicator, quick turnaround time, stellar sound quality and consistently on point. I highly recommend Tiffany!”
