Welcome Daniel:
We’re joined on the Starline by the Emmy-nominated voice of so many characters, Starscream, Gizmo & Stripe, Lucky the Leprechaun and only the third person ever to voice Donald Duck. We welcome voice artist Daniel Ross.
Daniel, let’s go Beyond the Mic. It’s almost been a year since you’ve lost your mother. Your mom taught you Donald. I’ve watched the videos of her and she was incredible. Talk about her special life, how she encouraged you.
How does voicing Donald make you feel? Donald has a lot of passion and in the past plenty of anger, how does voicing Donald allow you to get your anger out?
Who are the voice artists that you looked to growing up and influenced the way you are today?
