Ahoy-hoy! I’m Déarbh (‘Derv’) and I’m from Co. Donegal, in the Northwest of Ireland. 

Since I was wee, I have loved performing voices in a variety of accents. Who needs a theatre programme when you have six older siblings? Thankfully, I discovered voice acting in August 2017, just days before my 30th birthday (don’t mind me folks, just finally finding a job I love and do well at 30…).

I became a member of SAG-AFTRA in 2023, and signed with Atlas Talent in 2024.

I am a nerd at heart, and I wear that heart on my sleeve. My first console was the NES, and I was a pretty devout Nintendo kid til Sony came along with the PS1 and pretty much changed my gaming trajectory for life. Although I’m ecstatic that beloved titles are getting the remake treatment (looking at you, FFVII and SH2…), I still find myself replaying the classics. It’s hard to beat fixed-camera angles and riveting midi soundtracks.

Music is also a true passion of mine. I play by ear, which does make learning songs and composing a lot easier! I love singing harmonies. I play acoustic guitar, piano, ukulele and the concert flute (Fun Fact: I always carry an egg shaker in my purse).

My musical heroes include Nobuo Uematsu, Akira Yamaoka, and the stunning voice of Mary Elizabeth McGlynn. Bands – yes. Yes I do like bands.

I moved with my husband from his native Washington State in 2017 to the San Francisco Bay Area, where we currently reside with our two kitties, Vivi and Locke, and our old lady German Shepherd, Freya.
