MZ (Mish) Pollak

Actor and Writer SAG-AFTRA

VoiceOver, Theater, Film & Television

Her most recent work in Audio Description earned her a 2023 SOVA Nomination.

MZ Pollak is a Los Angeles-based voiceover actor celebrated for her versatility, warmth, and ability to bring characters vividly to life.

A 2023 SOVA Award nominee, she works across Audio Description, Animation, Video Games, Dubbing, Commercials, and Audiobooks, with a special talent for creating memorable, high-energy characters that spark joy for listeners of all ages.

A former Los Angeles/New York model and Miss Tarzana 1991, MZ discovered early on that acting was her true calling. After joining SAG-AFTRA in 2002, she built a multifaceted career in theater, film, and television before finding her creative home in voiceover. Her recent work in Audio Description—including both narration and scriptwriting—underscores her versatility and depth as a voice artist.

Her love for VO started long before the booth. When her boys were little, bedtime stories were full-scale productions: characters, accents, sound effects—even theater in pajamas. Hearing their laughter hooked her.

“If I hear someone laugh,” she says, “I know I did my job.” That joy still drives everything she records.

As an audiobook narrator, MZ’s lifelong love of reading shines. She delights especially in children’s books, imagining a classroom of captivated kids as she lifts stories off the page in a world where reading physical books is becoming rare. She records from her professionally built home studio, giving producers and authors broadcast-quality sound with the convenience of fast turnaround.

Beyond the booth, MZ is a writer and storyteller at heart. Under RomanceByMish.com, she writes historical romance, and she has written Audio Description scripts for Lions Special Ops and Yellowstone (CBS). She is currently collaborating with the Toontown Collective on a new animated series.
