Listen Later

Debra Wilson is probably best known for her eight seasons on the former Fox late night sketch comedy series, MADtv (1995-2003). She began her career in New York City theater, where she was born and raised and attended the High School of Performing Arts.  With numerous guest star appearances in both network comedy and drama series’ and a score of independent films, she continues to concentrate her craft in the realm of voice over and motion capture; with her first motion capture project, as the prototype model for ‘Ney’tiri,’ played by Zoe Saldana, in James Cameron’s AVATAR. 

 Voice over work began much earlier for Wilson, as a narrator for quite a few E! Entertainment celebrity specials, and then solidly into everything else, from animation for television and film, ADR & looping, network announcing, radio commercials, books on tape, theme park attractions, to a wide range of video games.  Debra has worked on well over sixty video games to date, some of which include six different World of Warcraft games and Blizzard's current games, Hearthstone On Line and Orbis, plus God of War, Final Fantasy XV, Mafia III, Gears of War 4, The Walking Dead: The Final Season, and several Call of Duty games, and most recently, WORLD of WARCRAFT: The Battle For Azeroth, Ratchet and Clank: A Rift Apart, and DESTINY 2: The Witch Queen.  

Motion capture credits include The Mirror’s Edge: Catalyst, Wolfenstein: The New Colossus, Wolfenstein: Young Blood, Far Cry: Primal, STAR WARS JEDI: Fallen Order, Days Gone, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, God Of War, and Just Cause 4. TV voice over credits include the Announcer on NBC’s The Weakest Link, hosted by Jane Lynch, Curious George on PBS, The Simpsons, Family Guy, American Dad, The Cleveland Show, The Boondocks, All Hail King Julien on NETFLIX, Mao Mao and the Heroes of Pure Heart on The Cartoon Network, and a few new top secret projects in television animation and video games. She also voices “Grandma Shark”, on the Nickelodeon series, Baby Shark’s Big Show, and reoccurs as Terra Snapdragon on Disney’s Owl House.

In this episode you will learn:

  1. What your relationship to your art should look like.
  2. How to collaborate and take chances in the booth as a voiceover actor.
  3. Debra's journey that stripped away everything (even her hair) to reemerge as a the highest version of herself. 
  4. How spirituality and connection to your true source can help you overcome the anxiety that comes with "trying to give them what they want."
  5. What we were put her on this earth (in the form of storytellers) to do. 
  6. Debra is a very private person and rarely does interviews, so this was a treat. She is not on any social media currently but you can continue our conversation with her on my Patreon page where there is over an hour more on content! https://www.patreon.com/sloanewarren
