Rue Helu

Rue Helu (pronounced roo hee-loo --yes, it sounds like a Star Wars name) is a Voice Actor based in Birmingham, Alabama.
​

​Rue Helu had worked in freelance and in-house Graphic Design for more than 12 years prior to Voice Acting, and Rue Helu Voice Over strives to provide the same attention to detail and quality of service that had built a glowing reputation in multiple industries, such as Software, Wine, and Commercial Insurance. In addition to Voice Acting full-time, Rue also works for a Voice Acting resource that helps other actors get their start in the industry. Rue Helu Voice Over has a strong commitment to helping and supporting fellow actors.

Rue has been coached by Beau Stephenson, Cristina Milizia, David Rosenthal, Erika Harlacher-Stone, Joe Zieja, John Montoya, Natalie Shaw, and Scott Parkin.


The Brand

​The shape of the logo is a modern take on a monogram; the original design was inspired by Penrose illustrations. The mark incorporates Rue’s love of both games and technology. The brand strives to convey a practical level of professionalism and empathy with a flair of fun. The foundation of Rue Helu Voice Over is professionalism first, to provide the highest quality of service possible, but not without empathy as a strong influence to keep the business grounded.

Nava

Once you've got a few gigs under your belt and meet their requirements, I highly encourage anyone based in the US to join NAVA. They are front and center advocating for Voice Actors specifically all the time. They're an incredible resource and THE WAY to stay up to date on what's changing and get involved in conversations that have real impact on voice over here in the US. This is the organization that inspired other voice acting associations globally including CAVA and AAVA.

​NAVA is also home to the Synthetic/AI Voices Contract Rider and the Brad Venable Fund.
