Joseph Gallina

Voice Description

I can do a wide variety of cartoon and character voices. I have great range, pitch, and intonation. My straight speaking voice is perfect for audio books and commercials. I'd be ideal for any video game because of my versatility: like getting five actors for the price of one!

My Voice Experience

Most of my voice over experience has been in the theatre: making recordings for shows, etc. After working with several coaches and engineers and hearing everyone say, "You should think about doing this for a career," I decided to do just that.

My Training

I have done Voice Over workshops with Jeffery Dreisbach and Dale AJ Rose. I have an MFA in Acting from the University of Connecticut, an Associates Degree from the Pacific Conservatory of the Performing Arts, and I also have three BA's from the University of the Pacific: Theatre Arts, Film Studies, and English.

I have been making recordings all my life. When I was a kid, my brother and I would make up sketches and record them - doing all the characters and sound effects. I am a product of the golden age of Saturday Morning Cartoons, and have been imitating and riffing on all the classics for years.

I have performed on stage for about fifteen years, doing everything from Shakespeare and the Greeks to Musical Theatre and Contemporary Drama. I have a deep and rich library of voices and characters to bring to any job, and a solid, rich and exuberant straight voice.

My Studio Equipment

Don't have my own studio. Been in plenty though.

Additional Skills

I've been trained by the best, and have worked with the best.
