The Conversation S2 - The Black Voice Actors Panel

As Black History Month comes to a close, this panel stands as a powerful reminder that legacy isn’t just written in history books — it’s spoken, performed, and lived through the voices that shape the stories we love.I had the honor of moderating an incredible conversation with Kevin Thelwell, Darius Johnson, Cedric Williams, Jalen Askins, Bill Butts, and Daniel Walton — six talented Black voice actors whose journeys represent resilience, excellence, and the power of authentic storytelling.Together, we explored their origins, the realities of navigating the voice acting industry, and what it truly means to bring identity, culture, and lived experience into every performance. This wasn’t just a discussion about characters — it was about humanity, representation, and the responsibility of being a voice for those who are still searching for their place in the world.Their stories are a testament to perseverance. Their voices are proof that barriers can be broken. And their legacy is still being written.This panel is more than a conversation — it’s a celebration of Black excellence, creative power, and the voices shaping the future of storytelling.Thank you to everyone who shared their truth.#BlackVoiceActors #BlackExcellence #VoiceActing #RepresentationMatters #BlackHistoryMonth #anime #blackartist
