To kick it off... we'd like to introduce: Mitchell Saltzman! Mitchell was called back to do a general audition at BZ - congratulations! Mitchell is from Northridge, CA & has been a staffer at AX in the past - but THIS time made it to AX just to be sure he could audition for Bang Zoom! He said that while nervous at the open audition, as soon as he got out that first word - he rode the excitement to the finish line. Mitchell say he works with his natural voice & simply adjusts it to fit characters that are younger, older... more beastly. He works at Game Front & his coworkers used to think the voices he would add to videos when giving game commentary were actual voices from the games - so he knew he was onto something! His childhood interest in cartoons & noticing the voices, he realized, could actually turn into something more. When he decided he was serious about it, he began taking classes & working on his craft. We discovered when interviewing him that he has taken classes both with Crispin Freeman & Adventures in Voice Acting classes with Tony Oliver! He told us, after his audition, that he was very thankful to have taken classes that had given him experience in the booth - because he truly felt at ease (though very excited) to be in that environment. In fact - he said he is certain he'd like to spend a lot more time in a professional booth! Thank you for coming to audition with us, Mitchell!
