Garan Fitzgerald is a bassist and voice actor who trained in music classically in the United States, later coming to Seoul to further his professional experiences. Relying on the skills developed during his studies under Homer Mensch at The Juilliard School and Bruce Bransby at Indiana University (as well as a lifetime of odd jobs), Garan finds himself playing in many eclectic groups and voicing a wide range of characters and styles. Garan's voice has been heard on TBS radio's "Drive Time," Arirang radio's "Korean It Words," several seasons of Arirang TV's "All Together," and was a regular guest on Arirang Radio’s “Travel Bug” hosted by Lisa Kelley for a year and a half. He has voiced characters for several cartoons and animated films produced by EBS, KBS and SBS; been a long time reader of national English tests in Korea--including TOEFL, TOEIC, and NEAT testing; and a corporate presenter for such companies as Samsung, LG, and Kia and Hyundai Motors. Garan is a sought after talent in the music and voice acting fields in Korea and he is always excited to take on new projects and challenges. 2007-present: Various voice-over projects throughout Seoul. 2004-2006: Indiana University - Bloomington 1999-2003: The Juilliard School 1984: Started studying music.
