This week, we’re stepping into the recording booth with one of the most iconic voices in animation history — Neil Ross. From Saturday morning staples like G.I. Joe and Voltron to the unforgettable narration in Transformers: The Movie, Neil has given life to some of the most beloved characters of the 80s and beyond.
In this candid conversation, Neil shares how he got his start in radio, what it was like voicing fan-favorites like Shipwreck and Keith, and how the world of voice acting has evolved over the decades. We dive into his work on video games like Metal Gear Solid, the art of vocal performance, and even a few behind-the-scenes stories that longtime fans won’t want to miss.
Whether you're an aspiring voice actor, a fan of retro animation, or just love hearing from the people behind the characters, this episode is for you. Don’t miss this deep dive into the career of a true voice-over legend!
