Hey there, I’m Marisa Duran. I’m a non-binary, Spanish-Caucasian, LGBTQIA+ actor (she/they) currently based in Dallas, Texas.
I caught the "theatre bug" at a young age. My parents will tell you that it started when I was two years-old, dancing around to the Barney theme song. I agree wholeheartedly.
I grew up in a suburb on the east side of Dallas and was fortunate to have the opportunity to explore a city known for its cultural and artistic influence. My passion for theatre was fueled by seeing many of the Broadway musicals that toured through town and I quickly decided that I wanted to spend the rest of my life as a storyteller.
Let us read and let us dance. These two amusements will never do any harm to the world.

In 2016, I graduated Magna Cum Laude from Texas Christian University in Fort Worth, Texas with my Bachelor of Fine Arts in Theatre, emphasis in Acting. Since then, I’ve had the privilege of working with multiple professional theatre companies in the DFW area, have trained extensively in on-camera acting under Glenn Morshower, and have landed on-camera roles in short films, web-series, and commercials. In 2020, after spending the last few years recording additional voices for various anime dubs, I decided to dive head-first into the world of voiceover! I continue to work consistently with studios such as Crunchyroll and BangZoom, and lend my voice to various indie projects, video-games, and commercials.
Art has the power to heal, to change, and to empower. As an artist, I believe that my purpose on this earth is to tell stories, and through these stories I hope to make a positive impact and leave people better than I found them. I consider it an honor to be able to use my talents in such a profound way.
Whenever I’m not rehearsing or recording, you can usually find me playing video-games like Overwatch 2, Zenless Zone Zero, or Dead by Daylight, or sippin’ on a cup of joe at one of my favorite local coffeeshops.
much love,
Marisa
