The Voice
Behind the Brand

Thom Downs is a Charleston-based professional voice actor whose mid-to-low baritone carries the kind of weight that only comes from a life fully lived.

A retired 20+ year Firefighter and EMT, Thom brings real authority and calm under pressure to every read. Born in St. Louis and having lived in 26 places across 9 states — from the Midwest to New England and down to the South — his voice holds a grounded, traveled quality that connects with audiences everywhere.

Before the fire service, Thom spent years in graphic design in New York City, giving him a creative eye and instinct for how a message should land. That background, combined with private coaching from David Rosenthal and ongoing training with GVAA in Commercial and Promo VO, makes him a sharp, versatile talent in the booth.
