Summary

My name is Richard Charleus, I’m 27 years old and currently based in Estero, Florida. I’ve been voice acting for a little over 2 years, starting with small projects before marketing my talent independently. That journey led me to a breakthrough opportunity with the Collier County Government Recycling Team, who trusted me to voice commercials, radio spots, and educational content.

I record from a well-treated home studio in my bedroom and specialize in commercials, radio, narration, and animation. My biggest dream is to bring my natural voice to life in an animated show or movie—to be authentically me while helping characters connect with audiences.
