* Tell us how you got started in the voiceover industry?* What are some of the national commercial spots in which your voice has been heard?* You have done a lot of work for LA’s KCRW/PBS Radio.  How does radio voice over differ from television or film or are they all similar?* Tell us about this newer and expanding area of voice over called Audio Description in which you are one of the voice over artists leading the way?* What are some of the titles of the films and television series that you are lending your voice to in terms of Audio Description?* Voice over is one of the toughest areas of the entertainment industry.  What advice would you give to a young voice over actor looking to get into the business? 

“I know that voice!”  “That voice is so familiar!”  Over billions of ears have heard the voice of Roy Samuelson, a leading and well-respected Hollywood Voiceover Artist.  For over two decades, his deep, soulful and commanding vocal skills have garnered him incredible success behind the microphone, contributing to literally thousands of vocal promos on Los Angeles’ NPR station KCRW.  Video Game credits include Nickelodeon’s TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES as ‘Raphael’, XCOM: ENEMY UNKNOWN and FINAL FANTASY: LIGHTNING RETURNS.  Notable voiceover television credits include LAST WEEK TONIGHT, LIBRARIANS with John Laroquette and AMERICAN HORROR STORY opposite Jessica Lange.  In other television and film projects, he often provides voice matches for top Hollywood stars.
