Welcome to the Voice Acting Mastery podcast with Crispin Freeman.

Voiceactingmastery.com is your place to learn both the skills and the mindset you need to become a professional voice actor, even if you're just getting started.

In each episode of this podcast, you'll discover valuable tips,

tricks and insider information to help you portray characters in animation, video games, and

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

If you'd like to know more about me, feel free to check out my personal website at www.crispinfremant.com.

Get ready for the second part of my interview with the hardest working actor I know, Mr. Zeke Alton.

Zeke is a multi-talented performer who does voice acting, performance capture, and also works

on camera. He's been in major AAA game titles like Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War,

Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart, Starfield, and the Callisto Protocol. He's also worked on TV shows like

SWAT and movies such as My Dead Friend Zoe starring Morgan Freeman and Sinequa Martin Green.

Zeeke is not only a member of the actors union, Sagafra, but also serves on many of their

contract negotiation committees, helping to secure artistic rights,

fair wages, and safe working conditions for his fellow union members. In addition,

Zika is also a founding board member of Nava, the National Association of Voice Actors,

who work tirelessly to promote the interests and protect the rights of all voice actors regardless

of union affiliation. In the last episode, Zeke outlined for us the fascinating journey

of how he transitioned from being a pilot in the Navy for 20 years into becoming a working

actor in Los Angeles. It's a very inspiring story, and if you haven't heard it yet,

I strongly encourage you to listen to the previous episode before continuing with this one.
