Who voices the narrator Cecil in the podcast 'Welcome to Night Vale'?

The narrator Cecil in the podcast Welcome to Night Vale is voiced by Cecil Baldwin.

Baldwin performs Cecil Gershwin Palmer, the host of the community radio station in the fictional desert town of Night Vale. Through Cecil’s broadcasts, listeners hear reports about supernatural incidents, mysterious visitors, strange local politics, and everyday events treated with deadpan normality.

Welcome to Night Vale was created by Joseph Fink and Jeffrey Cranor and premiered on June 15, 2012. Its format resembles a radio news program, but the narration gradually expands into serialized stories about the town and its residents. Baldwin’s deep, authoritative delivery contrasts with the bizarre material, creating much of the podcast’s signature comedy and unease.

A common mix-up is confusing Cecil Baldwin, the actor, with Cecil Palmer, the fictional character. Baldwin is the performer; Cecil Palmer is the radio host and narrator inside the story. Joseph Fink and Jeffrey Cranor are the creators, not the voice of Cecil. Baldwin has also performed the character in live shows and in audio adaptations connected with the Night Vale universe.
