Don't miss Kevin Urban's panel: "Voice Matching an Icon" THIS Saturday at 1pm!
"From screaming Kamehameha with my brothers to voicing He-Man in Family Guy: The Quest for Stuff, mimicry has always been my way in. Growing up with Nonverbal Learning Disorder, I didn’t always read the room—but I could always hear the voice.

What started as cartoon impressions in a small Western Mass town grew into content creation and voiceover work for Marvel, Nintendo, and stadiums from TD Garden to Madison Square Garden. With just a digital audio workstation at home and a deep love for nostalgia, I’ve worked remotely with some larger than life brands to bring awesome projects to life.

This panel is about how your quirks can become your catapult—how something a little eccentric and totally you can lead to something real, lasting, and heard around the world."
