ABOUT AMIE
Amie Drew Vreeken
Voice Actor • Vocalist
Mermaid Sound Cave
Versatile Voice. Disciplined Craft. Unrestrained Imagination.
Amie is a full-time, 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: Deep South, Texas, New York, Boston, Mid-Western
This vocal flexibility allows producers expanded casting possibilities for international campaigns, animation, and character-driven productions.

• vocal performance and musical storytelling
• character artistry • seashell floral language memoir sculpture series Mermaid Garden
• professional face painting • balloon twisting & decor/event installations
• aquatic & land mermaid performance: singing /swimming/stroytime/city events/fundraisers
These mediums all reinforce the same skills that define her voice acting:
authentic characters & emotional nuance, mermaid-level breath control, musicality, comedic timing, & the vocal health and strength to sustain voicing through long sessions.

The Work
Producers need voice actors who can quickly interpret a script, understand tone, and deliver performances that serve the story.
That is the work Amie focuses on every day.
Versatile Voice. Disciplined Craft. Mermaid Imagination.
…mermaid thing, you ask?
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 mermaid baby dolls and bath toys. I grew up on animation — Sleeping Beauty on repeat — practicing Aurora’s forest song until I could almost feel the birds harmonizing with me. I was furious when I couldn’t sing it perfectly the first time. I practiced. Relentlessly.
When I saw The Little Mermaid in 1989, it was over. I didn’t just want to be a mermaid; I didn’t just want to be a Disney princess — I wanted to voice and sing a Disney caliber character. At eight years old, I wrote Disney a letter telling them to “watch out,” because I was coming! To their credit, keeping dreams alive, they wrote me back! With a list of schools they like, and a can’t wait to see you message!
Amie’s first mermaid tail
I grew up performing everywhere, and in a small town, that does mean everywhere — orchestras, choirs, pageants (Miss Kane County), and every national anthem opportunity imaginable. I’m also talking funerals, weddings, private parties, Fourth of July city events, Best Friends Animal Sanctuary live music series, you name it. 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.
I devoured animation history and “how-to-draw” books, studying how animators observed the actress, Mary Costa (Aurora’s voice), as early motion capture for her dancing in the forest scene. She was a dancer, the voice of Sleeping Beauty. I made Ballet dance, art, and voice part of my education. I wanted to be the first animator to voice and sing her own Disney character. 3 hour art classes in college swayed me to focus down on the dream. I wanted to be a voice actor.
Growing up Mormon, I served in Japan, Tokyo North Mission 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 fluidly brought my mermaid persona to life professionally through immersive character and event performance in my full silicone prosthetic tail, in or out of the water: you can’t sing as a mermaid underwater. It doesn’t work. That’s why mermaids come to the surface in the first place, to sing.
Then came voiceover.
Through mentorship with industry leaders Jesse Carroll’s Voiceover Skool, Marc Graue, and J. Michael Collins, Dave Bisson, I refined my craft, and upped my game! I recently won the Team Ad Challenge award at the biggest VoiceOver convention: Voiceover Atlanta 2026.
Today, I work across commercial, animation, video games, creature, singing & aquatic performance from my MermaidSoundCave, in Las Vegas, Nevada; In life & in 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.
