Marcos Martinez was born in Houston, Texas. Early in childhood, Marcos’ father had aspirations for him to be the next golfing prodigy. Fortunately (or unfortunately depending on who you ask), that did not happen but as a result Marcos picked up a love of the game and feels fortunate to be able to play golf at a high level to this day. Marcos discovered his love of acting in high school when he performed Marc Antony’s monologue from Julius Caesar. Since then, while still devoting time to golf and his studies, Marcos only obsessed more over acting. He has starred and acted in various films, commercials, anime, and plays throughout his career. Outside of acting in and making films, Marcos’ favorite pastime is sitting down with a good book and a glass of Lagavulin Single Malt.

Much like Roman Emperor Augustus Caesar, Dallas based actor Aaron Dismuke got his start in his chosen profession quite early. At age eleven, he was cast in his first lead role in an anime dub: Alphonse Elric in the show FullMetal Alchemist. Young Aaron didn’t realize that he’d spend the next decade trying to escape the shadow of that towering role any more than young Augustus realized he’d spend his life overshadowed by the ghost of Julius Caesar.

The ancient Roman statesman and Dismuke’s shared love for performative emotional outbursts was instrumental in the latter’s going on to voice hundreds of characters in various anime, video games, and western animations in the 19 years that followed. Dismuke also directs, adapts scripts, writes comics, designs board games, photographs abandoned buildings, propagates grapevines, reads a lot of old history books, and raves that specialization is the death of joy.

As an actor, he soaks up information and converts it into clean reads with clear motivations—spiced with snark as needed. He has decades of experience in voiceover, and a passion for stories new and old.

The acting “bug” landed on Nikki while sitting in a college psychology course. She knew immediately that she didn’t want to sit and listen to everyone else’s problems for the rest of her life. Instead, she wanted to showcase their problems and hopefully their triumphs for the rest of her life.

After graduation, she took her talents to KD Studios Actors Conservatory where she met her first agent, Ivett Stone. From there, she began working in the commercial world and quickly moved on to film and television. She is a proud member of SAG-AFTRA, where she currently serves on the DFW local board.

Nikki is most often booked as a doctor, a law enforcement officer or a criminal. Her goal: to eventually play them all at the same time.

When not acting, she’s a fitness instructor, helps her husband run a custom suit business and sobs uncontrollably at ASPCA commercials.

Ray Hurd has worked for nearly two decades in the voiceover industry, voicing some of the world’s most famous characters and for the world’s most trusted brands. Brands like Amazon, Microsoft, Netflix, Chevrolet, The Home Depot, CHAMPION Sports, Cartoon Network, Funimation, Drive Time, The United States Coastguard, and many more. Ray also lends his voice to popular characters on hit weekly TV shows, like My Hero Academia, One Piece, and Dragon Ball Super.
People usually describe his voice as a calm, peaceful sound that commands attention. Kind of like James Earl Jones or Keith David. Trust is what people look for in a brand and what provides trust more than a voice of assurance and calm? These are examples of the quality you will get working with this amazing voiceover talent.

Cassidy Wiedman classifies herself as a true creative with extended knowledge in both video production and performance. She majored in Media Arts at the University of North Texas, allowing her the opportunity to maintain positions both in front and behind the camera. After deciding her assets were better suited in front of the camera, she claimed a theatre minor and began taking performance-based classes to grow her talents. There she gained knowledge on contact improv, stage combat, the art of clowning, and discovered herself as an actress. Since graduating, she has taken on principle rolls in various indie short films around DFW, landed a couple small commercial gigs, rejoined the theatre world, and maintained a successful venture in competitive swing dancing. She also enjoys writing music for a future EP, painting, and impromptu photoshoots.

Laura Martinez was born in San Antonio, Texas. Her father was a career Army officer, offering her the opportunity to travel and live throughout the world in such places as Europe and South Korea, but has always felt Texas was home. She fell in love with acting in high school, spent years doing theatre, acquiring her Bachelors and Masters in Performing Arts. Laura, crazy enough, started her film/TV career as an extra on Friday Night Lights (the series). Being on set was exhilarating, and there was no turning back! Since then she’s been honored to work on numerous film, television, and commercial projects. Most recently Laura has begun producing films with her husband in-between opportunities. She loves raising her children, reading, and dabbling in hobbies ranging from embroidery to refurbishing furniture, not to mention sharing a glass of whiskey with her husband at the end of the day. There is no doubt that all of Laura’s life experiences have helped mold her into the actress she is today!

Macy Anne Johnson has been a Dallas actor since her middle school theatre dork days. After a brief intermission to Waco to receive her BFA in Theatre Performance from Baylor, Macy is back and excited to do what she loves most.

Macy’s passion for voiceover began in high school. While sneakily checking her phone in English class, she found out she landed her first role. Following that first job in the game SMITE, the acting bug has refused to leave her system. Since then, she’s played Shikimori in Shikimori’s Not Just a Cutie, Swindler in Akudama Drive, Yuka in the live action dub of Ultraman Z, as well as characters in the anime Hell’s Paradise, Spy X Family, and One Piece.

Macy loves to write stories and bake cakes. An animal lover, she’s always petting cats, playing with her tiny pet snake, or pointing out cute squirrels through car windows.
