Sam Gundry is a 26 year old Voice Actor from Northern Derbyshire, now residing in Sheffield. Ever since listening to the BBC Lord of the Rings Radio drama as a child he has loved audiobooks, and spent many hours reading and imagining what every character sounded like in every book he read. He discovered a love for performance in his school years and went on to study Drama and Theatre Production at York St John University, graduating in 2020. Last year after a particularly boring shift at the local pub, he decided to throw himself into voice acting full time, and hasn’t looked back since. When not making voices for a living he can usually be found walking the dog, talking with friends over a game or cooking with his girlfriend.
