If there’s a poem about taking the long way ‘round, David Goldstein probably hasn’t read it. But when it comes to his voice over career, he’s living proof that good things come to those who persevere.

After growing up in Los Angeles and attending Northwestern University, David would spend 20 years on the improv stages of Los Angeles, performing at iOWest, UCB, Second City, Nerdist and more, all while building a successful career as a Television Editor and Live Broadcast Director.

Then, at age 37, he did what most people do…he picked up an accordion, joined an Irish punk band and toured North America for the next 5 years. Shocking as it may seem, the band did not last, and David found himself desperate for another creative outlet.

Enter Nancy Wolfson, the premiere instructor in the voice over business. Halfway through his course of study, David booked his first national campaign, becoming the voice of Jimmy John’s. More commercial work followed; Ciena, LinkedIn, American Standard, and more. He narrated two Thom Browne fashion shows and live-announced major press conferences for Samsung.

Then came the fun stuff. David provides the voice and performance capture for the universally beloved, no-one-has-any-bad-things-to-say-about ‘Myles Mackenzie’ in the greatly anticipated METROID PRIME 4: BEYOND from Nintendo and Retro Studios. He’s ‘Vence’ in HYRULE WARRIORS: AGE OF IMPRISONMENT, ‘Bijan’ in ARENA OF VALOR, and ‘Billy Bob’ in both FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE INTERGRADE and REBIRTH, among others. He’s provided anime and live-action dubbing work for studios like VSI, NYAV Post and Igloo, with his work being heard on Disney+, Hulu, and Netflix. He hit the big screen as ‘The God Of Poverty’ in the GKIDS anime GHOST CAT ANZU.

David lives in Los Angeles with his family, two cats and Buddy the dog.
