Welcome to the second part of my interview with the amazing Fred Tatasciore! Fred is probably most famous for voice the character of the Incredible Hulk in numerous animated incarnations. Some of Fred’s other familiar characters include Zeratul in the StarCraft Franchise, Master Shifu in the animated TV series, Kung-Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness, and one of my personal favorites: Soldier 76 in the game Overwatch.

In the previous episode, Fred and I talked about how he broke into voice acting. I was blown away by both the breadth and depth of his knowledge and expertise! Not only was he developing and refining his performance skills from an early age, but he was also expanding his graphic design abilities and his understanding of animation. Fred has an incredibly well rounded educational background which been invaluable to him as both a voice actor and as a comedian!

In this episode, we discuss how Fred is able to play so many different types of characters. A hint: it has far more to do with understanding the psychological center of a character than it does with producing crazy vocal sounds! Fred and I also talk about what inspired him to become a performer in the first place. I always think it’s useful to explore not only how a successful voice actor applies their craft, but also why they were motivated to pursue acting as a career. When you discover what muse guides a performer you admire, it can help you find your own inspiration as well! So without further ado, here’s Fred!
