Joe Bianco

In 2007 I was given my first paid gig to record the Narrator's lines for a production on Beauty & The Beast. While in college, I continued my voice work by assisting students on projects/presentations and doing a local TV commercial in Decatur. I studied voice work and dialects with Laura Ledford while attending Millikin University. Upon graduation, I moved to Chicago and took voice classes with Deb Doetzer and Jeff Lupetin at Chicago Acting Studio. I became a full-time voice talent within three years. I also work professionally as an actor in Chicago.
