"Aal" About Andrea Aal
Hi there, Andrea Aal here! (AHN-dree-uh AHL) I'm not going to preach about how perfect I am, because let's be real - I'm just as human as the next person. (Have you seen me try to parallel park? It's not pretty.) But what I lack in parking skills, I make up for in my ability to bring a script to life with my warm, engaging, authentic voice. I'm a UCLA-trained professional with a knack for comedy improv, so I know how to keep things lively and entertaining. After immersing myself for more than fifteen years in Hollywood working in film, tv, and stage productions, I took a detour away from acting, and landed at The Hollywood Reporter. There I ventured behind the scenes to wine and dine heads of luxury brands like Gucci, Louis Vuitton and Lexus convincing them to get their goods in front of the most exclusive and influential eyeballs in the world. (At least that's how we sold it...and mostly it was true.) Turns out I was good at it too, becoming National Director of Consumer Advertising within my first two years! It was an exciting place to work and allowed me to stay connected to the industry - attending the Emmys, Golden Globes and Oscars (without the annoying hassle of being nominated!) After my time with the magazine, I became a certified health coach. I am passionate about healthy eating, nutrition, and staying strong. (My husband loves to warn waitstaff that for me the menu is "just a suggestion,” and often adds “I’ll have her gluten,” as the waiter wanders away in search of an unsuspecting co-worker to take our table.) But let me tell you, the heart wants what the heart wants. And my heart has always belonged to acting. It's my true passion, my calling, my way of expressing myself. That's why I've joyfully returned to the wonderful world of voiceover and audiobook narration. So, if you're looking for a voice that's been around the block, soaked up industry knowledge, and is fueled by a burning desire to perform, you've found your "perfect" match! When I'm not working, you can usually find me strolling around the block with my furry companion Gemma, listening to audiobooks and enjoying the sunshine. (Oh yes, Gemma often lounges on the couch outside my booth, enjoying the soothing tone of my voice, but I know she secretly wants to direct!) That’s Aal for now…
