FEATURED VOICE OVER ARTIST: Steve Blum
One of the best ways to learn about the art of voiceover is to study the "masters." One of the greats is Steve Blum. Steven Jay "Steve" Blum is an American voice artist known for his wonderful, deep voice. You've heard him on X-Men, and on many video games. He debuted in the early 90s in the animated series of Guyver, before which he had never done any acting. As he tells it, getting into voiceover work was an accident. He was discovered doing "crotchety" voices in a mailroom.
Steve was recently interviewed by Michael Worthan, of ComicBookTherapy.com. You can check it out here: READ MORE
