About Matt Nelson
HUSTLE: With nearly a decade of driving energy and dedication to live sports announcing, Matt is proof that hustle pays off. His passion began in his youth as he admired how TV sports commentators brought the games to life. With the goal of one day being the voice of a major sports franchise, Matt began determinedly studying the art of voice acting. His commitment to his art has won him jobs as the voice of high-profile professional sports teams, including the world-famous Harlem Globetrotters and Westchester SC. Whether he’s introducing a team or amping up a live crowd, Matt brings passion and personality to the mic every time.HEART:What truly sets Matt apart, though, is his heart. Every project is personal — he listens carefully, takes client direction seriously, and puts in the extra care to make sure the final result sparks joy. With a modern, relatable sound (and a touch of playful snark when the moment calls for it), Matt can voice much more than sports games – commercials, eLearning, and corporate narration are all in his wheelhouse. He’s also a proud advocate for the neurodiverse community, and as a neurodivergent creative, he has sharp instincts and a structured approach that allow him to balance creativity and empathy with clarity and professionalism. For Matt, it’s not just about doing the job right — it’s about creating a moment that makes people smile.
