Keely Smith

Hello! My name is Keely Smith. I am a Chicago based actor, a mother, a nerdy Star Trek enthusiast, and I absolutely love storytelling. Stories can change or affect the world, or just one person... and either outcome is a success to me. But if I have a mantra as an actor is is that *Stories. Are. Important*.

I hold a BFA in Acting from Northern Illinois University. I moved to Chicago in 2019, to pursue my career in the Chicago theatre scene, voiceover and on-camera. With the pandemic kicking off my time in Chicago I took the opportunity to spend more time focusing on my voice acting career first. As an avid gamer it has always been a goal of mine to work in voice over for video games, some of my all time favorite are: the Mass Effect Trilogy, the Dragon Age series, Diablo 2, Fable series, and basically anything by Telltale games, I especially enjoyed the Walking Dead games.

If you are in the Chicago area, you can also find me regularly on stage at The Second City improv theatre in Starship Edsel: An Improvised Star Trek Satire! 

I am also a new mother! I have a sweet daughter that was born in May of 2025. 

​

I am always interested in making new connections, so please feel free to message me and, if you want, tell me your story!
