Karen Strassman

Karen Strassman is a veteran actress known for many characters in animation, video games, and TV series. Being a huge inspiration to me, it has been an honor to learn from her about how to hone my skills in voice acting. From dialects to fantasy genre to realism, there is not a thing she cannot teach you. Karen's teaching style is very nurturing, and she allows you to explore and help you find the character in your heart so you can execute a pristine delivery.

" Voiceover is not about just doing a voice. It's about dropping into the world of that character."

" Bring your own things to it then filter those choices through the spec to figure out how you want to form the emotional connection between you, the listener, and the product. "
