A classically trained actor with 20+ years of experience in both commercial and industrial styles of audio and video production.
As a Stage Actor and Creative Director/Copywriter, I have first-hand experience in how to read scripts and distill long, complex concepts into digestible bits. I'm an expert in articulating, defining, and amplifying just the right sentiments to sell the idea. I’m also a classically trained Actor—able to do a broad range of dialects and accents and specialize in writing and performing comedic characters. I’ve studied Acting and Voiceover with Jennifer Sukup and Elizabeth Bunnell at Hyperbolic Studios.
Zander Amelia is my stage name. I’m also known as Serena Connelly, Creative Director/Copywriter. I’ve led the creation of integrated advertising campaigns, suites of apps, social experiments, and massive experiential events for clients from Nike and American Express to Hasbro and Levi’s. I’ve won international awards from One Show Pencils to Cyber Lions to Webby’s. You can see my creative portfolio by visiting www.serenaconnelly.com
I have a fully equipped, soundproof, HOME STUDIO with a RODE NT1-A mic, Scarlet Solo Amp, Pop Filter, Adobe Audition, and Source-Connect.
COMMERCIAL REEL
I speak with the gravitas of a Mother.
Because I am a Mother.
I’m told I speak with depth, resonance, confidence, maturity, and sophistication
INDUSTRIAL REEL
I’m Fluent in business-speak
I began doing VOs for pitch videos and case studies in 2010, and by 2018 I had spoken on behalf of hundreds of brands, agencies, and clients.
Years of working at a consultancy taught me how to say this without snickering or literally laughing out loud:
“…derived customer experience signals that are precalculated, allowing the omnichannel foundation to be set up”.

I understand those long tongue-twisting phrases about business stuff.

I’m a copywriter who knows the client wants the logo to really pop through the mic.

I’ve got diction for days.

My philosophy:
the way you tell THE story makeS all the difference.
