The name Marcy Goldberg might not ring a bell, but you’re closer to her than you think. Chances are, if you’ve watched TV or listened to the radio in the past 24 hours, you’ve met her – or at least heard her. That sexy voice urging you to report to your Toyota dealer? Goldberg’s. The nasty Russian in your kid’s video game? Goldberg again. Oh, and the breathless narrator on that William Shatner biography you caught the other night? Well, you get the picture.

One of Vancouver’s most prolific voice-over artists, Goldberg has been lending her pipes to commercials, films and radio dramas for a couple of decades. She’s slim and fit, and, with an expressive face and energetic manner, her age is difficult to pin down – and, as an actor, she prefers not to reveal it. “You get typecast when people know your age,” she says.
