Harvey Guillén

I grew up watching animation.

I think Guillermo del Toro has a great quote that animation is, again, for everyone.

I feel like there's this thought that animation is for children or adolescents.

It's like some of the most touching stories I've seen have been to stop motion animation.

And I got...

the asked to, um, if I would, or the offer to do perrito, uh, in, uh, puss in boots.

And I was just floored.

Cause I've been trying to do voiceover for years.

I didn't get my first break in voiceover until like season two of shadows.

Like, I think it was a casting director who became a fan of shadows and was like, you're really funny.

You should audition for this role.

Ah,

Absolutely.

I will audition for anything because I had been trying for years and I always get close and I always go with someone with a name or someone else who's been in the business for years.

Because, you know, to be in animation, I think you have to be able to do like a million voices.

And those people work and they constantly want to, you know, they book the next gig and they work with the same group of people.

So it's a tighter community to get into, I feel like, because it's, I think of it this way.

Think about the actor who did TV and film and movies.

and whatnot and then after a while they're like i don't want to worry about what my hair looks like i don't want to worry about like what i wore and i don't want to worry about my height my you know my weight or whatever what can you do that is performing but still part of the artistic world it's voiceover the whole world and universe with just your voice you can't rely on your you know mannerisms or your facial expressions because you're not in front of the camera all you can rely is telling a story through your voice and that's hard sometimes i go home more exhausted from voiceover than i do from on camera because

you have to convey everything empathy love hate all these emotions through your voice and through your acting which if you think about it close your eyes and if you can't see it then you didn't do a good job absolutely yeah it's um it's an audio cinema right yeah yeah and so um i got
