About Amie

They say I was brought home in a Christmas stocking.
I know the truth — it was my first mermaid tail.

I didn’t ask for baby dolls. I asked for mermaids. I grew up on animation — Sleeping Beauty on repeat — practicing Aurora’s forest song until I could almost feel the birds harmonizing. I was furious when I couldn’t sing it perfectly the first time. So I practiced. Relentlessly.

When I saw The Little Mermaid in 1989, it was over. I didn’t just want to be a mermaid — I wanted to voice and sing one. At eight years old, I wrote Disney a letter telling them to “watch out,” because I was coming.

I devoured animation history and “how-to-draw” books, studying how animators observed Mary Costa (Aurora’s voice) for movement reference. Ballet. Dance. Voice. I made them all part of my education. I wanted to be the first animator to voice and sing her own Disney character.

I grew up performing everywhere — orchestras, choirs, pageants (Miss Kane County), and every national anthem opportunity imaginable. I graduated valedictorian and attended Southern Utah University on scholarship studying art, music, and dance before transferring to UVU and later Brigham Young University, where I graduated with honors and a minor in Japanese.

A lifelong fascination with accents led me to serve in Japan, where immersion sharpened my ear to native-level pronunciation and honorific nuance. I later won a statewide collegiate Japanese speech competition with a comedy piece performed in advanced honorific form.

Throughout motherhood (four extraordinary humans), I continued performing — singing, dancing, directing choirs, playing violin and piano — and eventually bringing my mermaid persona to life professionally through immersive character and event performance.

Then came voiceover.

Through mentorship with industry leaders Jesse Carroll, Marc Graue, and J. Michael Collins, I refined my craft in animation, video games, and conversational commercial performance.

Today, I work across commercial, animation, video games, creature, and singing & aquatic performance.

My mermaid life isn’t metaphorical. I perform in a 32-pound full silicone tail crafted by The Mertailor; I sculpt realistic flowers from seashells, using the language of flowers to create layered, meaning-driven arrangements — visual storytelling shaped by the sea. In a professional capacity, I have painted mermaids on humans faces, twisted mermaids out of balloons (eco friendly, of course), sung as a mermaid, swam as a mermaid, made flowers out of seashells like a mermaid might in my head movies. I’ve got a world of life and color, plus multidisciplinary training in all aspects of the voice over industry. What fun colors we can collaborate to create with the depths of color I to bring to the table.

In life & VO, I dive into the deep end. “I must be a mermaid; I have no fear of depths, and a great fear of shallow living.” -Anias Nin.

Disciplined craft. Unrestrained imagination.

ABOUT AMIE

AMie Drew Vreeken
Voice Actor • Vocalist • Artist
Mermaid Sound Cave Studio

Versatile Voice. Vivacious Verve. Mermaid Imagination.

AMie Drew Vreeken is a professionally trained voice actor and vocalist whose work spans national commercial campaigns, animation, video games, character performance, and musical storytelling.

Known for rapid vocal adaptability, emotional specificity, strong comedic timing, and grounded conversational reads, Amie delivers performances that allow producers and casting directors to move efficiently from script to finished performance.

Recording from her broadcast-quality Mermaid Sound Cave Studio, she provides professionally directed remote sessions and broadcast-ready audio for national and international productions.

Beyond voice acting, Amie is also an award-winning entertainer and multidisciplinary artist whose creative mediums include balloon sculpture, seashell floral design, face painting, aquatic mermaid performance, and vocal performance. Across disciplines, her work centers on one core principle:

bringing stories to life through performance.

Everything in her background — music, language study, behavioral analysis, live performance, and visual storytelling — converges into one capability:

delivering the performance the story demands.

Professional Voiceover Training

Amie has trained extensively with respected voiceover industry leaders:

Jesse Carroll
Marc Graue
J. Michael Collins

Her professional training includes focused study in:

• conversational commercial performance
• animation and character acting
• video game performance
• emotional authenticity in short-form reads
• vocal placement and articulatory technique
• rapid differentiation between characters

This training allows her to move seamlessly between natural national commercial reads, high-energy animation, and character-driven storytelling.

Behavioral Observation & Acting Technique

A core component of Amie’s performance process is the study of human behavior, micro-expressions, and nonverbal communication.

She has studied the work of:

Dr. Paul Ekman — pioneer in micro-expression research and emotional expression science
Joe Navarro — former FBI behavioral analyst specializing in body language and behavioral communication

These studies sharpened AMie’s ability to recognize subtle emotional signals and psychological cues — skills that translate directly to voice acting, where emotional shifts must be communicated entirely through vocal performance.

Her work in this area is reinforced through Meisner repetition training, which develops heightened awareness of moment-to-moment emotional truth through observation and responsive listening.

Together, these disciplines strengthen her ability to:

• interpret emotional subtext quickly
• perform nuanced conversational reads
• build psychologically grounded characters
• respond authentically in directed sessions

For producers, this results in performances that feel natural, emotionally precise, and believable.

Performance Foundations

Amie’s voice acting is supported by decades of multidisciplinary performance training.

She graduated valedictorian before attending university on scholarship studying art, music, and dance, later graduating with honors and a minor in Japanese.

Throughout her academic and early professional years she performed extensively in:

• orchestral and choral ensembles
• live stage productions
• broadcast events
• national anthem performances
• pageantry (including Miss Kane County)

As a trained vocalist and musician (including violin and piano), she developed a strong understanding of timing, phrasing, breath control, and emotional delivery — essential tools for professional voiceover performance.

Accent & Language Mastery

Amie possesses a highly trained ear for accents and vocal placement supported by strong articulatory awareness and muscular vocal control.

While serving as a missionary in Japan, she became deeply immersed in the language and culture, developing near-native pronunciation and a refined understanding of honorific speech patterns.

She later won a statewide collegiate Japanese speech competition, performing a comedic monologue in advanced honorific Japanese.

Her reliable accent repertoire includes:

• Irish
• British (RP & Cockney)
• Australian
• Scottish
• Russian
• French
• Spanish
• Japanese
• American regional dialects

This vocal flexibility allows producers expanded casting possibilities for international campaigns, animation, and character-driven productions.

As an award-winning entertainer and artist, her work spans:

• balloon sculpture and event installations
• seashell floral sculpture in her series The Mermaid Garden
• professional face painting and character artistry
• aquatic mermaid performance
• vocal performance and musical storytelling

These mediums all reinforce the same skills that define her voice acting:

character embodiment, visual storytelling, breath control, emotional nuance, and imaginative performance.

Amie is also the mother of four remarkable children, whom she considers her greatest creations. Creativity runs strongly in the family — her youngest daughter has already appeared in a children’s hospital advertising campaign.
