Bio

(Pronouns: She/her/they) 

Ki (pronounced Key) is a Midlands born Voice Actor and Singer who started acting 20 years ago in musical theatre groups.  She is best known for her leading roles as Dethiral in Yonder World: Interview with the Void, The Thief in The Fause Knight and her performances in various acclaimed titles from the Dreams platform including Scraps & The Cosmic Tale series.

Through initially studying for her degree in animation, she rekindled a love for storytelling and characterisation through acting, seeing that most animators were 'undercover actors'. This continued as she began streaming to explore narrative & art in games, and share her love and respect for the industry. Not long after, she found a catharsis and enjoyment in doing voices for games without VA which soon became the beginning of her Voice Acting career.

Ki has worked on numerous titles spanning audio dramas, games and more, including ingraining herself within the community for the title Dreams, a platform enabling creators to make a variety of media. Ki is honoured to have been nominated 3 years in a row for the platform's award for best voice acting. She has also created a series on Dreams’ platform about getting a start in VA & being responsible when commissioning VA's for newer project creators. The platform's creator studio Media Molecule has also worked with Ki to present a charity stream focused on accessibility with sound and VA.


When not voice acting or streaming, Ki can usually be found doing art commissions, experimenting with music composition and pursuing her personal project turned-liveplay D&D sessions of The Text Adventure Chapters. Also an avid and classically trained singer, you can check out samples of her singing here!

Testimonials

When we offered Ki the choice between two roles in Pig Detective and the Beast of Boffington, she instantly opted for the more challenging one and proceeded to fill it with panache, style and an impressive vocal variety that ranges from bashful banter to screams of terror. 

Ki's talent for comedy - crucial for a game peopled by anthropomorphic animals - shows in every line, yet she manages to preserve her character's credibility and gives it a complexity that, frankly, sometimes superseded even what we asked for. And we're pretty demanding.

Her interpretation of the part was instantly spot on, thanks to her keen sense for subtext and thorough understanding of script mechanics. 

Ki delivered professional work with a highly professional attitude, including but not limited to faultless recording quality, work ethics and punctuality. Also she was just a joy to work with. We're looking forward to doing it again.

Seb and Lotte, creators of Pig Detective

Ki is an absolute pleasure to work with and a phenomenal voice actress. I had the pleasure of working with her in our Visual Novel, Yonder World: Interview with the Void. Ki portrayed the apathetic and vastly powerful Dethiral, whose role I thought would be the most difficult to fill due to a very specific set of requirements I had.

Not only did Ki deliver with absolute excellence, she was endlessly enthusiastic about the role. She was very professional, positive and a delight throughout the project. I cannot recommend her enough, and would love to see her in other works in the future!

Nei Nguyen, Director at Fluttering Abyss Studio & Creator of Yonder World: Interview with the Void

Ki is a vocal powerhouse. She recorded professional quality voice lines and grunts for the main protagonist of the game I'm working on. She also wrote and performed the lyrics for the game's theme song. Any project in need of voice work would be lucky to have her.
Jordan Hedges, Creator of Grit & Project S.A.M

I have had the pleasure of working with Ki Garland multiple times. As an artist, Ki followed specific instructions to capture the characters perfectly. Her voiceover work is always promptly and expertly delivered well before the deadline with little to no pickups needed. And Ki’s work as a composer is stellar. Her professionalism is unparalleled and communicating with her is a breeze. I highly recommend Ki for all your musical, voiceover and artistic needs!

Jenna Oliver, Wolf & Magpie Media

Ki is just such an easy talent to work with. She takes notes and expands upon them. Whenever I work with her, she helps me find new dimensions in the characters she plays. She’s the type of talent that everyone should have on their roster.
Kevin Andrew Rivera, Voice Actor

Ki auditioned as a VA for the visual novel Alice, for which I was casting director. Many people auditioned for the role of the Queen of Hearts, but once I heard Ki’s voice, I knew she was the perfect fit. Her delivery & emotion were exactly what we were looking for in the character, & I was sure she’d do an excellent job. After casting her, I was proven right, & she did amazing work on the game for the team.


Eliana Zebro, Casting Director of Alice: NaNoReno2022

We had the pleasure of working with Ki on our short film "Once Upon a Kingdom". Not only is she a terrific actress with great diversity, but she's also just a blast to work with. She brought an enormous amount of dedication, positivity, and humor to all of our recording sessions. Honestly can't recommend her enough.

Monday pictures, creator of Once Upon a Kingdom

Ki has a very nice range of accents and tonal qualities. She did an amazing job on the ethereal angelic character of Lumina for the Audioverse Award Finalist audiofiction, Armageddon: Black Dawn. She’s friendly and professional, delivering on time and with a nice set of varied takes. I’m looking forward to working with her on a larger role for season 2 of the Armageddon Series!

Terry Tibke, creator of Armageddon: Black Dawn

I originally offered Ki two small roles in a game, but she was such a joy to work with she ended up with four larger parts, all of which she gave completely distinct voices that perfectly matched their personalities just as I had envisioned them. I would happily work with her again.

MitterMak, Creator of Scraps

In my first work with her, she performed in an impressive and serious manner and she conveyed the whole feeling of the scripts. She impressed us with her wonderful performance. 

It was a great pleasure to invite her to work with us on our new project... she volunteered to play the role 'Strong and evil character'. I was really not sure that she would be good at the evil character because her well-known performance is nice and charming, but here, surprisingly, [Ki] performed in a really impressive way, a completely different character, strong and evil. 

This really impressed me as she paid attention to the smallest details of the performance and the direction of the scripts, this was really professional and caring, she is really a professional voice actress and I had to thank her and show my gratitude to her for her efforts and her hard work in the project, I can't say better words than to say about her that she is really a professional in voice acting, and I hope to see her in other works in new projects in the future.

Bohalaa, Creator of the Cosmic Tale series 

It was a wonderful experience to work with such a kind and talented voice actress. She would always get my vision and perform it perfectly without the needing for any redoing. It was simply easy and that good." 

Lampazzu, creator of Glory Arsenal
