"I know that voice!" "That voice is so familiar!" With thousands of streaming, broadcast, and big budget films narrating audio description, and hundreds of additional voice over projects, including national commercials, video games, and promos, over billions of ears have heard the voice of Roy Samuelson.

For over two decades, he's contributed to thousands of vocal promos on Los Angeles' NPR station KCRW. In other television and film projects, he often provides voice matches for top Hollywood stars.

Commercially, Samuelson has voiced Intel Tags during the Super Bowl and the Academy Awards. Major brands work includes Magnolia network, Toyota, Quaker State, DirecTV, Ford, Target, multiple spots for McDonalds and countless more. With vocal craft, he can easily adjust the purpose of his voice - in Stand Up to Cancer campaigns, he sounds like the warm voice of reason. For Rent A Center, he is your best friend. For Sketchers, he is your father.

Samuelson gains critical praise and garners much work in the ever-growing area of Audio Description, which provides access to television programs, movies and other visual media for blind and low vision audiences, by providing descriptions of key visual elements. By connecting audio description audiences and the entertainment industry, Samuelson is among many leading the charge. Within the entertainment content, he advocates for blind and low vision professionals to have the opportunities as sighted professionals, in the same way that blind and low vision audiences have an immersive experience as sighted audiences.
