Biography[]
A director, writer, voice actor, and singer living in Las Vegas, Nevada, B. Michael Schwalbe is often referred to as a "vocal chameleon." He has performed 60+ roles for a single game more than once, and can be heard in over 100 videogames and cartoons, in addition to performing in numerous commercial and corporate campaigns. During and after college, Michael sang and performed everything from rock and metal to jazz, blues, swing, and southern gospel, to classical, opera, acapella, and barbershop. Graduating with a Bachelors degree in Music Business from Belmont University, Michael then spent several years working at a division of Warner Music Nashville while continuing his vocal pursuits. Eventually, his talents started opening up doors at Warner, culminating in voicing Blake Shelton's 2013 CMA promotional campaign, directly leading to the start of his voiceover and voice-casting business What He Said Voiceovers, LLC.
Nine years later, Michael's voice has been heard by tens of millions. He has won a SOVAS award for Outstanding National Commercial Voiceover, directed over a dozen videogames and acted in many more. He is represented nationally by CESD Talent. He loves playing videogames with his wife Courtney, an accomplished vocal teacher and opera singer herself, reading, hiking, and curating his multiple collections of interesting doodads.
