As a busy Hollywood voice-actor, Townsend Coleman is perhaps one of the most recognizable voices on TV. For 16 years, he was the voice of NBC’s “Must See TV” and “Comedy Night Done Right” primetime comedy promos, including hits from Seinfeld and Frasier to 30 Rock and The Office, as well as the promos for “The Tonight Show” starring Jay Leno (then Conan), “Late Night with Conan O’Brien” (then Jimmy Fallon), “Last Call with Carson Daly” and “Saturday Night Live”. He currently voices the daily on-air promos for the long-running “Live with Kelly and Michael” and radio spots for “Judge Judy”, in addition to regularly voicing primetime promos for ABC Family, The Hub, and now, ABC-TV.

But the character behind the voice really came to life in 1985, when Coleman, having just moved to Los Angeles from Cleveland, Ohio, auditioned for and got a part on the animated hit, “Inspector Gadget”. As the voice of Corporal Capeman, Gadget’s bumbling assistant, he embarked on an entirely new career, providing the voices for some of the most memorable characters in cartoons and commercials. In addition to thwarting evil as the voice of “The Tick”, Fox Kids’ hit animated series, he has provided the voices for many popular cartoon characters, including Michaelangelo, Rat King, and Usagi Yojimbo on the original, long-running cartoon series, “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles”. He also voiced Waldo on “Where’s Waldo?”, Gobo, Architect, and Wrench on NBC’s animated “Fraggle Rock”, Scott/Teen Wolf on “Teen Wolf”, Scratch on “Spacecats”, the voice of Wayne Gretzky on “Prostars”, Riot on “Jem and the Holograms”, Dragonflyer on “Glofriends”, Rewind on the 80’s “Transformers”, and 20 years later, Sentinel Prime on “Transformers: Animated” for Cartoon Network, Neddy the Mallet on “Mighty Magiswords” for Nickelodeon, and the voice of Jason Whittaker on Focus on the Family’s popular radio drama, “Adventures In Odyssey”.

In addition to his active animation career, Coleman has also been the voice behind numerous national TV ad campaigns for clients such as Home Depot, Kellogg’s Frosted Flakes, Mattel Hot Wheels, Sunny Delight, Colgate, Friskies, Sara Lee, Nestle, Jenny Craig, Blockbuster Video, Greyhound, AT&T, Eggo Waffles, Taco Bell and the voice of “Spot”, the precocious red 7-Up dot… even a few “Keebler elves” and “Raid bugs”.

Born in New York City in 1954, Coleman spent his childhood in Denver, Colorado and Cleveland, Ohio. After studying architecture and theater at the University of Colorado in Boulder, he returned home to Ohio to pursue a radio career. Ten years as a disc jockey at various Cleveland radio stations led to numerous commercial and voiceover jobs. He appeared as host of the nationally syndicated TV series “The Dance Show” prior to moving his family to LA in 1984 to take advantage of career opportunities on the west coast. Coleman’s primary career focus was acting in TV and film, but soon changed, as he foresaw a more lucrative career specializing in the field of voiceovers. Having performed in numerous theatrical and musical productions back in Cleveland, the fall of 2013 saw Townsend re-ignite his passion for theatre after a 30 year hiatus by performing the role of Uncle Sid in Eugene O’Neill’s ‘Ah, Wilderness!’ at The Actors Co-op in Hollywood, where he is currently a member.

Zeke Alton Bio:

I’m an actor on screen, on stage, and behind the mic. I spent 20 years as a Navy test pilot having adventures from Hawaii and northern Japan to Afghanistan and Somalia.
I’m a proud dad of an amazing kid who constantly surprises me and shares my love for movies, music, and gaming.
As a former military officer, I bring an unmatched professionalism and technical ability to my creative work along with the ability to completely let loose and play in character. My performance is informed by a wealth of experience from a life well traveled and well lived…so far.

Wil Wheaton was a very famous kid—right up until he wasn’t.

After that, he wasn’t sure who he was at all.

So, in 2001, Wil started a blog. It was less about being a famous kid than about being a not-so-famous grownup. He wrote about his pets and his hobbies, punk rock and parenting, board games and birthdays and (most importantly) burritos. He thought he was writing for an audience of one: himself.

To be fair, he was only off by about 3 million people.

Wil Wheaton loves to tell stories. He’s been doing it his whole life.

By age ten, he had already been acting for three years. In 1986, at age 12, he earned critical acclaim as Gordie Lachance in Rob Reiner’s Stand By Me; at 14, he began his four-year turn as Wesley Crusher on the hit TV series Star Trek: The Next Generation.

Since then, Wil has appeared in dozens of films and TV series, with recurring roles on TNT’s Leverage, SyFy’s Eureka, and the hit webseries The Guild. He is the creator, producer, and host of the wildly successful webseries Tabletop, credited with reigniting national interest in tabletop gaming. He played a fictionalized version of himself on CBS’s The Big Bang Theory, one of the most highly rated and watched sitcoms of the last decade. He currently hosts The Ready Room, the official online hub for all things Star Trek universe.

An accomplished voice actor, Wil has lent his talents to animated series including Family Guy, Teen Titans, Guardians of the Galaxy, and Batman: The Brave and the Bold. His video game credits include four installments each of the Grand Theft Auto and Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon series, as well as Fallout: New Vegas, DC Universe Online, Broken Age, and I Expect You To Die 2.

His audiobook narration of Ernest Cline’s Ready Player One debuted at number one on the New York Times bestseller list and was one of Goodreads’ 10 Best Narrator and Audiobook Pairings of All Time. He has also lent his voice to titles by John Scalzi, Randall Monroe, Joe Hill, and Bill Gates. Wil’s narrations regularly appear on Audible’s bestseller list.

When he isn’t acting, narrating, or podcasting, Wil Wheaton is writing.

A lot.

He is the author of Just A Geek, Dancing Barefoot, The Happiest Days of Our Lives, Hunter, and Dead Trees Give No Shelter. He has contributed columns to Salon.com, The A.V. Club, The Wall Street Journal, LA Weekly, Playboy, The Washington Post, and the Suicide Girls Newswire.

In his New York Times bestselling Still Just a Geek, an older, somewhat wiser Wil revisits Just a Geek, his 2004 collection of those blog posts, with all-new reflections that show just how far he’s come. In this vulnerable, honest memoir about trying and failing and trying again, Wil opens up about love, trauma, tragedy, and confronting the worst parts of himself. Equal parts funny and poignant, Still Just a Geek weighs the folly of youth against the pain of experience—and celebrates all the strange, awful, beautiful adventures in between.

In recent years, Wil has opened up about his PTSD from surviving childhood abuser and exploitation. He has earned recognition as an outspoken mental health advocate, chronicling his own journey in his blog and as a public speaker for the National Alliance on Mental Illness. His powerful, candid essay about his struggle with chronic depression and anxiety garnered national attention.

Though he considers himself semi-retired from on-camera acting, his cameo as The Traveler in Star Trek: Picard’s second season delighted fans, sparking speculation about his character making appearances elsewhere in the Star Trek Universe. Currently, Wil is on his way to the 2023 Celebrity Jeopardy Tournament final in February, where he has been guaranteed to win a minimum of 250,000 dollars for the National Women’s Law Center.

Wil lives in Los Angeles with his badass, irrepressible wife Anne, their rescued dog, one cat, and five vintage arcade cabinets. If you’re not a robot, you can reach him at: wil at wilwheaton dot net.

ABOUT ROBIN

I love storytelling. I love pure, true acting. And I love the human voice. It’s been my joy to teach, coach and consult with hundreds of voice actors at all levels for over 25 years.

I discovered my passion for coaching actors and VO talent while working most of my career as a feature film and commercial director and producer. I found that I often needed to ‘coach’ talent into acceptable performances. I then began extensive teaching and coaching for voice talent, from top working pros to newbies across all genres. There are genuine, real world principles artists simply must understand about the inner process of voice acting, or they’ll be wasting their effort.

From my private studio in LA and at weekend intensives nationwide, I build and empower talent. I get them ready to work. I teach voice actors to look behind the script and into the writer, producer and directors’ minds. To understand how we make casting decisions and why. To learn why some artists book and others don’t. To break down and understand the full range of actual practical skills that really matter, and how to gain, develop and refine them. To work through negativity: the fear, ego and confidence issues that can result in self-sabotage. And to learn how to truly grow – as human beings, as performers, and as entrepreneurs. I give voice actors what they need to compete – to audition effectively, consistently land gigs and, once hired, nail the role and be asked back. I also include instruction on how to actually build their businesses. This dovetails with my consulting work, personally branding individual artists and producing world class voice demos which showcase their skills in the best light for today’s real world casting environment.

I’m continually growing as a storyteller, as a director/producer, teacher, coach, mentor and working voice actor. I’m so grateful that my crazy path has landed me here – and that by my side through this amazing journey are my beautiful wife, Judi, and our children, Blake and Annie. Their love inspires me.

I even have a Romani background… there’s just so much backstory to catch up on!

I invite you to learn all about my diverse background and get in touch, so I can bring my expansive and unique experiences to your latest character.

Jason J. Lewis is a Southern California native and grew up in the Santa Clarita Valley. Starting as far back as performing in his school’s Christmas pageant in second grade, Jason has always been comfortable performing, but it wasn’t until his freshman year at Village Christian high school, when he was given the role of Father Gomez in their production of, ‘Lillies of the Field’, that he realized how much he enjoyed performing. His Junior year, he would change schools, and attend Hart High School in Santa Clarita. And it was there his drama teacher, David Sprague, helped him believe he could make a career out of his talent. His senior year was 1994, and because of the Northridge quake, the auditorium was damaged at Hart High, forcing the students to use one of their backyards to put on the spring production, which Jason was also able to direct part of alongside his teacher. After graduating, he attended College of the Canyons for two and half years before transferring to Biola University, where he studied theatre under Professor Barry Cavin. There he would perform in numerous shows and films, including the lead in an ambitious adaptation of Christopher Marlowe’s Doctor Faustus.

In 1999 he graduated with a B.A. in Communications-Radio/TV/Film and just shy of few theatre credits to earn a double major. He immediately immersed himself in auditioning and background work, while performing at Universal Studios in many capacities.

During the next few years, he also worked In many local and regional theaters and in 2004 he would land his first big Voice Over gig, matching Eddie Murphy’s Donkey for the Shrek 3 scratch track. He brought the gig to Wes Stevens at Vox, and signed several months later after booking the unsold pilot, Duck on a Bike for Disney Jr.

Since then, Jason has made an ongoing career of voicing iconic animated characters for film, television and interactive content. Currently, Jason can be heard voicing Fear for the Inside Out Emotional Whirlwind ride at California Adventure, and earlier this year, was the DJ you could hear on the street at California Adventure, for the ‘Taste of Disney’ event; and, his voice can be heard in various attractions all over the world as well.

In recent years, Jason has also been able to parlay his 25+ years working in location-based entertainment and theme parks to act as a creative consultant for various attractions at Universal Beijing, Universal Studios Hollywood, and Disney World.

In fall of 2019 Jason signed with Terrie Snell at Talent INK management. He is repped at Vox for voice over and Firestarter Entertainment for Commercial.

Jason currently resides in St. George, Utah with his wife, actress Annie Victoria Lewis (formerly Ramsey), and his three children Marigold, Kenaniah, Jesiah and soon, a daughter, due in April of 2022.

Jolie Mason-

The service was founded in 1993 by Jolie Mason (pictured right), who had become blind as an adult and recognized the acute need for such a service in the L.A. area. Jolie understood that blind and print–impaired people can get news from many sources; what they cannot get is the newspaper, with all of its features, columns, editorials, and ads. Nor do they have access to current magazines, just published books, or information about the community, all of which a radio reading service provides.

Jolie was accepted as one of 8 out of 800 applicants to an internship program at KPFK FM to learn the fundamentals of radio, and funding non–profit radio stations. With a seed grant from the California Community Foundation and help and monetary contributions of her family, friends, and members of her church congregation, Jolie established the first LARRS “studio” in a radio/TV classroom at L.A. Valley College.

The signal was (and still is) transmitted on a subcarrier of KCSN Radio FM in Northridge. All of the work of producing, engineering, editing and broadcasting the programs was done by volunteers, who were recruited by using public service announcements on radio and by word of mouth. The operating budget was minuscule. Today, the great majority of the work is still done by volunteers.

After a few years, the college needed the space for its own purposes, so LARRS was forced to find new quarters. CBS came to the rescue by allowing the service to occupy a trailer on its lot in Studio City. That trailer was “home” for two more years, until CBS began to run out of space and needed their trailer. Once again, LARRS was on the search for a broadcast site. No free space could be found in the San Fernando Valley; so a unit in a commercial building in Encino became the next, not–so–permanent, location. The site was adequate and convenient to the freeway, but, when new ownership took over, the parking rules were changed, and once again LARRS was on the road.

All this time, volunteers came and went. A few, who joined Jolie at the inception, were still with the organization, including an engineer, Richard Blythe, without whom LARRS would probably have faded into obscurity. Also complimenting the group was seeing eye dog , Yuma, a dedicated worker and support solicitor par excellence. The next home for the reading service was a goldmine – a real radio station that had been left vacant in the Fallbrook Mall in West Hills. The mall management generously allowed LARRS to have the space for a minimal rent. Two happy years passed. Had it been up to LARRS that arrangement would have lasted forever, but the Fallbrook Mall was slated for a total demolition, which left LARRS searching for space again.

That search ended when the corporate owners of the Northridge Fashion Center, who also own the Fallbrook property, generously offered the reading service a space for their broadcasts and operations in Northridge. This residency lasted until 2016. LARRS has found a beautiful new permanent home at the Rose Goldwater Community Center in Canoga Park.

I am an alumnus of SAE Expression with a degree in Applied Science in Audio. During my studies, I was able to secure a position as Studio Manager at DisherSound (San Francisco, CA) and utilize my experience to get a full-time position as Production Director / Recording Engineer / MoCap Engineer at PCB Productions (Encino, CA). Working my first year in my profession, I have gained valuable knowledge on conducting a recording studio on large-scale video game projects.

Committed to my creativity, I am an EDM Producer and DJ. Being a freelance music artist I have been able to grow my social media presence and perform with respected artists in the scene (Luca Lush and Emorfik 2021 Tour). Feel free to check out my links to explore my most recent projects!

Victor Mares has been in the industry since he was a child. His parents were actors and directors and they started him in the dubbing industry and in theater plays at the age of four. He has recorded countless TV & radio commercials, infomercials, industrials, audio books, e-learning modules and more, and he has been the LAS voice of many celebrities. During his teen years, he decided to learn about sound recording and he became an engineer at the age of 16, cutting tape with a blade and using magnetic film machines, and several sound and video decks. At the age of 24, he was already chief engineer of a big post-production studio in Burbank, CA. He has produced countless audio and video projects for TV, radio, new media, and more. He has also been the dubbing supervisor of LAS versions of films for the big screen like Grown ups, Total Recall, Terminator Salvation, Pink Panther 2, Hancock, The Water
Horse, Are We There Yet, Monster House, Open Season, RV, The Legend Of Zorro, and many more.

Passionate and ever amazed by the processes behind story telling and make belief, Stephane thinks good actors aim to be saints, not stars.

Known as a “self-made-woman”, Rayani started working very early. At 15 years old, she was a professional actress and, at 19, she had three simultaneous jobs.

At the end of 2014, she graduated in Literature at PUC-Rio, where she also studied Translation Techniques for Dubbing and Audiovisual Translation. In October 2013, she was hired by Globosat channel network, taking care of dubbing and subtitles’ quality control. After getting her degree, she got herself right into the dubbing market.

At first, she faced some difficulties due to the resistance of old professionals in the field, specially regarding the training of new voice actors and actresses. According to her, it was very difficult to find information about courses in the dubbing area. For this reason, in mid-2016, aged 24, Rayani identified a unique and revolutionary opportunity, founding, alongside Mabel Cezar, the Sociedade Brasileira de Dublagem – SBD (Brazilian Society of Dubbing).

In its first year of operation, SBD became the first 100% online brazilian school for dubbing and reached out the mark of 1 million reais in sales (about 197 thousand dollars), training more than a thousand students. Nowadays, it is considered the biggest dubbing school in Brazil and has already graduated more than 4 thousand students without having to travel to São Paulo or Rio de Janeiro

Also in 2016, Rayani published her first book, entitled “Guia Definitivo de Tradução para Dublagem” (“Ultimate Dubbing Translation Guide”). She also wrote the works “O Guia Definitivo de Dublagem” (“The Ultimate Dubbing Guide”) and “A História da Dublagem” (“The History of Dubbing”). In 2017, she created the Dubbing Experience 2017, first live dubbing event in Brazil. It included the participation of established artists, such as Marlene Costa, Carmen Sheila, Leonardo José and more. In 2018, she spoke at the events Maestria Ao Vivo, Revolução do Conteúdo and Liga das Mulheres Incríveis, speaking in all of them about performance and success in the digital market. Later, she created her own event, Dia Extraordinário.

In 2019, the Brazilian Society of Dubbing gained more national recognition, being broadcast in vehicles such as Pequenas Empresas & Grandes Negócios, UOL Economia Veja SPand Estadão among others. In the same year, Rayani founded Grupo Olimpo, which brings together entrepreneurs and digital influencers who want to share professional experiences.

In 2020, she was invited to speak at the Digital Awards Talks event, held at the São Paulo City Hall by Instituto Sou + Jovem. In 2021, she became a partner of Motivo Arts company, which operates in the field of Musical Theatre and Singing.

Born in Hollywood, California, Paulette Victor Lifton fell in love with the film industry at an early age. Ms. Lifton’s passion for directing and writing came through experience from the ground up. First, accepted into the ‘Short Fiction Film’ program at UCLA, where she worked on two films, one as an AD and than as a Producer. In that capacity her films won numerous awards (Gold Medal at the New York Film Festival, Malta Cine Circle, North Carolina Film Festival and The Dark Fiction Film Festival). She then moved onto work as a DP in Shanghai, China shooting music videos. From there, Paulette moved onto directing, producing and editing numerous music videos and commercials in Nashville for the likes of Travis Tritt, Garth Brooks, Clint Black and Shelby Lynn.

Inspired by the craft of editing, Ms. Lifton went on to edit nine features, writing 6 features, and directing 4. One caught the attention of the ‘Hollywood Reporter’, which quoted her talents as “precise and fluid” for the film Phoenix (1995). Ms. Lifton got her first break at directing and writing features when she completed a film that she was editing, Firestorm (1997). The director moved onto another project and he asked Ms. Lifton to shoot and write additional scenes for his film. After the success of that film, the producer hired Paulette to rewrite and direct his next film, Little Cobras: Operation Dalmatian (1997), a family film that eventually premiered on HBO. The sequel to that film, Monkey Business (1998) is where she discovered Shia LeBouf giving him his acting debut. Ms. Lifton’s also directed Mirror, Mirror IV: Reflection (2000), the fourth sequel to the ‘Mirror, Mirror’ series and recently Bad to the Bone (2011), a MMA action film that she wrote and directed.

Along the way, Ms. Lifton’s passion for editing and film production led her to open a film and post production facilities (in Burbank, Santa Monica and Detroit), Oracle Post and LIfton Films with her husband and partner Jimmy Litton. Ms. Lifton runs the facilities along with post supervising shows for MTV, Fox, Paramount, Warner Bros., Columbia Tri-Star, Lionsgate, Newline, Nickelodeon and Disney.

In 2006, I moved to Los Angeles from Brazil and began looking for work to kickstart my career and life in LA. With a background in music and audio engineering, I started doing post production, mixing movies and recording voice overs for local and international productions.

Eventually, one major company asked me to become their multilingual provider, catapulting my career as a voice localization specialist into my company, Batuk Productions. Since then, we have grown into a premiere in-house post-production studio focused on delivering top-quality audio in 25+ languages.

Over the past 17+ years, I’ve had the privilege of working on various movies, documentaries, business presentations, and other projects with innovative companies including Apple, Google, HP, Microsoft, Duolingo, PaperCup, Coca-Cola, Sony TV, Rockstar Games, GE, GM, NatGeo, Warner Bros, Harley Davidson, Bank of America, Adidas, Nivea, Sony TV, HBO, Pixar, Discovery Network, TransPerfect, RWS, SDL, Disney, and many more.

My defining difference lies within my technical and contextual precision – voice localization doesn’t merely involve delivering content word-for-word, but adapting it to a specific cultural context to curate a more accurate experience for viewers worldwide to enjoy.

Additionally, while most voiceover artists work remotely, I only work with in-house talent to provide a better experience on multi-voice and multi-language projects.

Beyond my extensive accomplishments, I’m most proud of all the meaningful relationships I’ve built along the way. Many clients have been with me for over a decade, proof of my reliability and my commitment to exceptional audio production.

I have poured my heart into helping companies connect with their audiences worldwide through the highest quality voice localization. If you’d like to connect, send me a message!
