About the Performer

GM Hakim (He/Him) is a multiple award-nominated, full-time voice actor who does voice over work in eLearning, audiobooks, commercials, animation, audio guides, documentaries and docuseries, video games, audio dramas, corporate narration, explainers, promos, and more. GM's happy clients include Meta, Spotify, Hellmann's, Sierra Nevada Brewing Company, JPMorganChase, Degree, Marvel Snap, Novartis, EF (Education First), Penguin Random House, HarperCollins, Macmillan, Simon & Schuster, The U.S. Federal Highway Administration, and The American Council of Life Insurers.

GM has a relatable style, and his warm, rich, baritone voice has been called engaging and easy to listen to. His voice and style are a mix of Jon Hamm's gravitas, Patrick Warburton's depth, and Jason Bateman's humor and relatability. GM was nominated for a 2026 SOVAS Award for Outstanding TV or Streaming Commercial - Best Voiceover, and a 2025 USA One Voice Award for Best Performance in an Audio Drama by a Male. He is also the narrator of the audiobook of the 2025 National Book Award winner for Fiction, The True True Story of Raja the Gullible (and His Mother) by Rabih Alameddine, which was named one of the 10 Best Audiobooks of the 2025 by The Washington Post, and is also one of three positive reviews he's received in Kirkus Audiobook Reviews.

GM works from his professional home studio just outside of Boston. He studied broadcast and print journalism at the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University, where he had a weekly radio show on WAER-FM for three years. He taught middle school English, theater, and improv from 2005-2023, mostly in Montessori schools. When he's not working in voiceover, you can find him writing, playing board games, playing guitar, leading Dungeons & Dragons games as a Dungeon Master, riding his bike, reading, cooking, playing ultimate Frisbee, and spending time with his wife and daughter.
