I am a freelance voice actor, working under a different name to help my brand. However, I am concerned with customers trying to pay me for my services seeing my legal name. Is there a Doing Business As section or a way I can change my display name? If this question has already been answered please link me to what I can do, as I did not find a definitive answer on my own

You can approach this in two ways:
Open a separate business account as Individual (if you're not a sole proprietor or inc/corp) and use your full legal name still as account holder and enter a business name/info which will be displayed instead of your personal full legal name/home billing address/phone which will be hidden.
To open a separate business account:

Or, upgrade your personal account to a business account as Individual (if you're not a sole proprietor or inc/corp) and enter a business name/info to be displayed but your full name billing address will still be listed as the account holder which will be hidden.
To upgrade, go to account settings (gear icon) > Account Options section > Upgrade to business account
