About Sora
Welcome. I'm Sora Penfold, the professional voice actor and storyteller behind an elite 17% booking rate and nine confirmed roles in competitive animation and audiobook markets. I specialize in delivering dynamic, emotionally rich performances that command audience attention.
My professional foundation is built on over a decade of trained theatrical experience (previously working under the name Ashley Terry). This extensive background ensures I bring immediate emotional access, dynamic versatility, and expert direction-taking to every script.
I recently advanced my professional involvement by functioning as a Creative Consultant and Casting Influencer on an upcoming animation project, successfully conceptualizing and securing the character.
This site is more than just a portfolio; it's a place to find a voice actor who brings proven results, creative authority, and a genuine love for building unforgettable characters. I am ready to bring my elite expertise to your project.
My mission as a voice actor and storyteller is to bring authentic representation and meaningful visibility to those who often feel unseen.
I believe in the profound power of character to inspire hope and foster connection. Whether I am breathing life into a protagonist on a grand adventure or embodying a supportive presence in an audiobook, I strive to make every listener feel seen, heard, and understood.
This commitment to authenticity extends into production itself. I have successfully advocated for and developed characters that bring genuine, personal experiences to life, including functioning as a Creative Consultant on projects focused on diverse representation.
Ultimately, my work aims to inspire the simple, yet profound truth: no matter your limitations, you can face them, chase your dreams, and see your story reflected authentically in the world.
