Meet Hannah Joelle
Hannah Joelle is an award-winning voice actor based in Washington, D.C.
Born in England and raised in Saudi Arabia, Hannah's early experience interpreting for her mother, who didn’t speak Arabic, sparked a lifelong passion for language and cultural connection. That passion led her to earn a BA in Translation and spend over a decade working as a professional interpreter across a range of sectors.
Alongside that work, she trained as both a user experience designer and a voice actor—two disciplines that deepened her empathy and sharpened her ability to communicate with intention and impact.
Hannah believes that her background in interpretation and UX has given her a unique edge in voiceover. Her nuanced understanding of language and audience allows her to bridge gaps and create inclusive, resonant performances across cultures.
When she's not in the booth, you’ll find her baking or at a concert with her husband and friends, soaking up the vibrant culture of Washington, D.C.
