Greg Whalen – Comedy Magic, Voice-Overs, Lectures

Greg Whalen is a veteran professional voice actor whose character voices have been heard on hundreds of projects for television, radio, computer games, video games, corporate videos, cartoons, animatics, audio books and more! He played the voice of Stretch in Disney’s Squash & Stretch, Wizard Whitebeard in Where’s Waldo? Exploring Geography, Po Tato in VeggieTales, and Beetle Bailey in The Beetle Bailey Special (directed by Emmy-winner Hank Saroyan).  And although he specializes in comedic characters, Greg has also provided dramatic voiceover for numerous History Channel programs (including the Emmy-nominated First Invasion:The War of 1812), voiced the top villain in the Psi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy video game, and was nominated for an Audie Award for his heart-warming narration of The Christmas Candle audio book.

Greg is a real pleasure to work with! He’s great at taking direction while still being able to offer suggestions and hilarious ad lib. I’m also impressed at the sheer volume of little people he has living inside of his head.

It doesn’t bother Greg, in the least, that Bix Pix creates characters that often don’t really exist, Greg always knows just how they should sound. He’s also a master at bringing to life real people. And, oh, did I mention, he’s tons of fun to work with!
