Socks Whitmore BIO

Socks Whitmore (they/them/theirs) is a Los Angeles-based singer, actor, voice over artist, lyricist-composer, writer, producer, and otherwise professional overachiever; in short, they’re a performer, composer, and storyteller rooted in voice and text.

Socks’ creative work as a creative musician and wordsmith spans from live performance to digital media to print, including audio dramas, narrative design for games, poetry, short fiction, op-eds, and more. They have been produced by New Musicals Inc., Overtone Industries, and Feminist Fairytales, and published by Translash Media, the American Composers Forum, Sappho Small Talk blog and Queer Quarterly magazine, among others. They specialize in book, lyrics, and music for original music theater, such as their work on Marrow (Original Vision Selection 2022), We Are Here (New Voices Project winner 2019), and Back to One: A Coming of Self Musical (CalArts 50th Anniversary Alumnx Showcase 2023).

You can hear their VO skills across the internet in audio dramas (Georgie Romero Is Done For, The Sheridan Tapes, Life with Leo(h)), video games (Detour Bus, Cryptid Crew, Georgia), audiobooks (the Narwhal & Jelly series, This Is Our Rainbow), and over 20 different animated shorts. They’ve originated roles on stage in productions like the immersive show Stardust, the ballet operetta Children Cannot Sleep, and the new musical The Bully Problem, as well as their own original works, and on screen they’re known for their performances in The Magical Christmas Tree and A Color Without Color. On fancier occasions, they’ve performed in renowned spaces such as the Grand Ole Opry, Carnegie Hall, and the Sydney Opera House.

A self-described “professional overachiever,” Socks likes to keep busy—if they’re not on stage, set, or their laptop, they can be found watching bad movies and amassing large amounts of socks. For those who are curious, they hold a BFA Performer-Composer degree from the California Institute of the Arts (CalArts) with minors in Digital Arts and Creative Writing.
