Hallana

Where breath meets myth

Bilingual voice actress and storyteller working across English and Farsi

Hallana’s work in the studio is rooted in an actor’s approach to performance, shaped across stage, screen and studio. Following an early breakthrough in cinema, she stepped away from the industry before returning with a renewed focus on authorship, presence, and voice as primary medium.She brings an embodied, method-informed process into the studio, where the microphone becomes a site of psychological precision.Her work spans ADR for cinema, commercial voiceover, and narration, combining control with emotional depth. She has also worked behind the scenes as a pronunciation and enunciation coach for prominent figures in English-language productions in Iranian cinema.Working across cultural contexts, Hallana approaches voice as an immersive medium where language is not merely delivered, but inhabited.
