Legendary voice artists of animation Hank Azaria, Pamela Adlon, and Maya Rudolph—all winners of the voiceover performance Emmy Award—return to the podcast to inspire listeners to get involved in the voiceover industry. Azaria, star of “Brockmire” and “The Simpsons,” explains how he channeled his instincts for creating characters into a thriving voiceover career. Adlon, previously of “King of the Hill” and current writer-director-star of “Better Things,” recommends signing up for voiceover classes led by working professionals.
