Ryan X. Messcher
voice actor & composer
Hi! I'm Ryan X. Messcher (He/Him), and I am a Non-Union Jewish-American Voice Actor, Composer, and Audio-Generalist from Massachusetts.
Taking an interest in acting from a young age, I have worked to improve my craft by participating in various stage performances, improvisational comedy groups, and Destination Imagination. Behind the microphone, I have attended classes taught by some of my heroes, such as Sara Secora, Rick Zieff, Crispin Freeman, and Julia Bianco Schoeffling. As a casting director/voice director, I've been fortunate to work on such projects as Systems Studios' "Body" and Team FF's "Fusion Fighters."
I got my start in music at age eight, when I first dipped my toes into drum kit lessons; I've never looked back! At Berklee College of Music, I met and studied with some incredible industry professionals, such as Sheldon Mirowitz, Claudio Ragazzi, and Duncan Watt. I found my time at Berklee's Film Scoring Department to be invaluable, instilling in me a focus on storytelling above all else.
These days, I spend my time as a proud BMI composer under my publishing company, MesscherMUSIC. I remain committed to delivering quality work on time and on spec. Feel free to check out some of the awesome projects I've had the pleasure of working on!
