Transcribe →S5E284 -I Mouth The Words - a Conversation with Joe Sanfelippo
Apr 2900:48:33Tap to summarizeI Mouth The Words Our guest this week is voice actor Joe Sanfelippo. Joe is an exceptional voice actor and book narrator. You’ve heard him on shows and movies like Aquaman, Spiderman: Into the Spider-Verse, Hotel Transylvania 2 and 3, Orange is the New Black, Grownish, The Morning Show, and many more. If you have listened to the audible reading of Gyro and the Argonauts by Joshua Pruett, then you have heard him as both the book's narrator and its lead character - Gyro! And honestly, Joe CRUSHES it with this reading. Totally worth getting the audio to hear his narration and, as you will hear him call it, his version of a squeaky Michael J. Fox for Gyro. In our chat, we will discuss his origin story, the process of bringing his characters to life, and what the future holds for Joe.
