Hi there. My name is Crispin Freeman, and I'll be your guide through the world of voice acting.

Welcome to the second and final part of my interview with the fabulous J.P. Carliac.

You may be familiar with his extensive work in animation, including Boss Baby Back in Action,

Spidey and his amazing friends, Trolls Topia, Dogs in Space, and the New Looney Tunes.

In games, he's worked on Skylanders, Crash Bandicoot 4, and Marvel Avengers Academy.

You can also hear him in anime shows like Fate Grand Order the Movie and Neon Genesis

Evangelion. He's also the founder of Queer Vox, a not-for-profit training academy and community

for LGBTQIA plus voiceover talent, and co-founder of the nonpartisan voter action group, Nerds Vote.

In the previous episode, J.P. shared with us how he broke in to voice acting.

He pursued a more traditional acting career on stage and screen, but was pleasantly surprised to discover in college

that his classmates appreciated his voice acting in their student film projects. One of his

In this episode, JP tells us what inspired him to become an actor in the first place.
