MEET JEFF
The man behind the hair mic!
Jeff Burns has always held a deep love and appreciation for anything animated, dating back when to he was a wee micro-Afro’d lad. So, it only made sense that as the years went on, Jeff would eventually discover that real live humans were behind the animated characters he grew up worshiping. After learning that these talented humans created character voices from within a padded room, and seeing how much of a blast the process looked like, Young Mister Burns decided to pursue this crazy career of acting we call voice.Jeff’s recent VO credits include Fantasy Life I: The Girl Who Steals Time, Honkai Star Rail, Watcher of Realms, Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans, Sword Art Online: Ordinal Scale, Toradora and a few other things that might be on the horizon. A long time convention attendee (since 1998), Jeff also has a deep appreciation for conventions ever since attending San Diego Comic-Con back in the day.
He's also a voiceover
Panel moderator
Over the last decade, he fell into the world of moderating panels at various conventions throughout California. His signature panel, Chillin' With Voice Actors, features top voice actors on a panel stage imparting their wisdom upon an unsuspecting audience and playing around with a script that's thrown at them on the spot. More recently, Jeff has also moderated panels that cover topics regarding Voice Directing with established voice directors as well as the do's and don't's when comes to making Demo Reels with a mix of demo producers, casting directors and talent agents. And of course, Jeff is also known for that awesome Afro A) that everyone knows, and B) it acts as a cloud server for his encyclopedic knowledge on subjects relating to animation and VO. Plus the dang thing also serves as a beacon that people just love to be around.
