Michael John Leadbetter

Originally from Rochester, New York, I grew up with a deep connection to comics, fantasy novels, cartoons, and music. Around age 10, I began taking classical voice lessons to develop my singing voice and transferred over into a budding love for musical theatre. Through numerous musicals, I was exposed to characters and voices outside of my immediate world, from a young Ebenezer Scrooge to an overweight, out-of-work buffalo man, turned male stripper. No matter the character, I found love in the journey of finding that character's voice. Even outside of the professional world, I have always loved inventing new characters and voices to make those around me smile. It's most definitely a dream of mine to tell stories similar to the 90's Spiderman cartoon or The Kingdom Hearts video games that I continue to enjoy up to this day.
