The prevalence of audio dramas and podcasts these days helps GM play to his strengths as a versatile character actor who can inhabit a guy next door, a tough New York mobster, a politician, a fantasy warrior, a king, a wizard, a concerned professor, a humorous detective, a cab driver, a small-town bully at a bar, and many other flavors of character.
GM’s most prominent audio drama role is in Pocket FM’s “Girlboss Courtesan,” in which he played the male lead character, Prince Gabriel, as well as assorted supporting roles for 367 episodes, from pilot to series end. Gabriel was a multi-faceted character who ranged from revolutionary mastermind to spurned lover to lovesick husband to caring father.
PEOPLE ARE SAYING...
I finally got the opportunity to work with GM on a game trailer after hearing his demos for months and it was on par with my expectations. The session went super smoothly, GM is great at picking up directions super quickly and he had researched the topic so much that there was no struggle with pronunciation. All we had to do was focus on acting. 100% recommended!
GM Hakim was great to work with! Attentive to voice direction, punctual and reliable. Looking forward to completing Gales of Nayeli so I can hire him again as soon as possible!
I was incredibly impressed with GM’s attention to detail and the level of care he puts into his work. He was collaborative, adaptable when needed, and responsive to any questions or requests I had. I would highly recommend GM to anyone seeking a voice actor and hope to use his talents again in the future.
GM is just what Pinball looks for in actors: talented and collaborative, fun and easy to work with. He was just who I needed for the part and I look forward to working with him again in the future.
When I heard GM Hakim’s voice during the audition for my novel, I knew from the first word that came from his mouth that he was the right narrator. Now that I’ve listened to the completed project, I’m completely in love. From start to finish, GM was very thoughtful and professional with his work, particularly since it was the first book I had narrated. There were several character changes that required a variety of accents and tones, and he met every challenge. I am over the moon happy with the completed project and cannot wait to work with GM in the future.
GM Hakim delivered the lines in a way that surpassed my own expectations and made them into his own unique flair. I can’t wait to work with him again on many future projects to come.
GM was the voice of a cab driver in my horror audio drama ‘Liars & Leeches.’ His accent work helped bring the character to life, and he was very friendly and easy to work with. I hope to record with him again in the future!
GM Hakim is a spellbinding actor. His voice is clear and smooth and his pacing is beautiful. Every character is unique and his accents are pitch perfect. GM reads more rapidly as exciting events happen, but he never loses the strength and the tone of his narration. He will make you laugh out loud at the funny scenes, because he has terrific comic timing. And when sad events unfold, his voice becomes slower and hushed and full of emotion. He’ll give you chills. He’ll make you laugh and cry, and leave you wanting more.
GM Hakim radiates passion for voice work and doing it well, going above and beyond to provide structure, clarity and detail. He genuinely loves and has fun in his roles with an heartfelt eagerness to grow. If his demos or audition takes resonates with you, go ahead and book him!
GM joined my roster when we had just begun testing and creating a new format of audio-storytelling at Pocket FM. He has voiced key projects ever since and continues to work on Pocket FM’s multicast audio series and original content. It is a joy to work with GM as he not only brings his amazing voice acting skills to the table but also brings his uniquely positive energy in each session. GM is meticulous with creative directions, professional with timelines and does a great Batman voice!! I highly recommend working with GM Hakim
GM has been the utmost professional from the get-go. He wanted to absolutely nail the tone for our original show on Pocket FM ‘Hometown Revenge’ so he recorded sample narration for us to choose from, ensuring that we got the perfect vocal range for our lead characters. He’s now also done several pieces of promo work for our Live Action department for Meta and TikTok videos. Every time we ask him for work, he turns it around quickly and clearly communicates with us about our needs for each project. Most VOA talents don’t take as much pride in their work as GM does. He uploads his files promptly and efficiently and his warm baritone really draws our audiences in. He is a total delight to work with!
GM was the only person to really bring up the idea of adding humanity to Zubyar. In the script, I just wrote, ‘at a loss for words.’ GM brought that humanity by having Zubyar more or less break down into very confused laughter, which hit me really hard and was a way better idea than what I had in my mind.
GM was great to work with! Responsive and so friendly and accommodating especially because it was a strange project that required a few rounds! 10/10.
From audition to finished product of my audiobook, GM was a consummate professional and a dream to work with. The project involved a varied cast of characters and several Latin references and horticultural pronunciations, so GM’s exceptional voice talent, strong command of language and impeccable attention to detail was especially invaluable. GM went above and beyond to grasp the nuances of each character along with their interconnections to each other and the book as a whole, breathing life into each one in a way that repeatedly gave me goosebumps. He was a total team player in working with the female narrator on the project, and I was so grateful to both for ensuring the process was seamless and the finished product more gorgeous than I could have imagined. Thank you GM!
I directed and worked with GM Hakim on an original, voiced comic dub. Hakim was very pleasant to work with every step of the way and he did a wonderful job in his role. He was also prompt and professional in submission and kept the lines of communication crystal clear. Not only did he deliver the lines exactly as requested, he also added such vibrant life to his character and ultimately brought a fresh uniqueness to the project. I would describe his line execution as engaged, warm and clean, and his tone as genuine, memorable and endearing. I highly recommend GM Hakim to anyone in need of a reliable and talented voice actor, and I look forward to working with him again in the future!
