ABSTRACT
Much of the work in animation is for animation television series. However, voice-over work is also available in animated features, games, toys, theme parks, the Internet, and narration. These fields are often closely interrelated with characters going from one area to another. Celebrities are usually cast in some of the principal roles in animated features produced in the United States. Tom Sito, who was animation director for the Warner Bros. film Osmosis Jones and many other animated projects, reminds us that celebrities are usually stars for a reason. Raul Garcia is an American citizen who was born and worked in Spain. He explains the complicated process from an independent filmmaker’s point of view. Raul made The Missing Lynx, codirected by Manuel Sicilia, and they raised their own financing. Games may still provide some opportunities worldwide for new voice-over actors to get experience.
