Personal Projects and Live Stream VO

Michael Ruffin - Professional Voice Actor

I am a person who wears many hats and enjoys exploring what is possible. I've been a storyteller in various ways throughout my life. Whether it has been as a sales representative communicating with businesses to ensure they receive the best care and satisfaction I can provide; as a disability and neurodivergent advocate who educates people on how to thrive in a challenging world; helping corporations better support their disabled and neurodivergent employees; as a live streamed actual play performer in several tabletop role playing games; or creating spaces for people to connect and be themselves through TTRPGs, storytelling has always been part of my life's work. 

I was a theatre major at Murray State University and later studied Game Design at Full Sail University. Those experiences gave me a strong foundation in performance, character, narrative, and collaboration, and I've used those skills to support others as the founder of Dueling Minds, a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting the ADHD and Autistic community. I personally host one of the largest online peer support groups in my free time, creating space where people can show up honestly, find connection, and feel less alone. We also use storytelling as a medium to help people develop social skills, make friends, and explore aspects of themselves they otherwise could not with TTRPGs like Dungeons and Dragons, Daggerheart, The Veil, and more. 

As a voice actor, I am drawn to anime dubbing, interactive media, and narrative-driven projects. With my experience in mental health and psychology, I enjoy exploring characters with depth and nuance that enthrall audiences, break hearts, and make you question if the bad guy might actually be right. At the same time, I enjoy having fun with bold archetypal characters that bring laughter, whimsy, and a bit of dramatic flair. 

My background in theatre, public speaking, TTRPGs, coaching, facilitation, and storytelling has helped me develop a collaborative, prepared, and emotionally grounded approach to performance. I value taking direction, making intentional choices, and finding the human core of every character, whether the project calls for subtle realism, heightened anime energy, or something in between.
