Corey Burton
Corey Burton has been a Multi-Voiced Journeyman Character Voice Actor/Announcer for over a half-century, since age 17. Having workshopped under the mentorship of Hanna-Barbera cartoon character voice legend Daws Butler in traditional Radio Theatre performance craft, he carries the distinction of becoming the last known authentic "Hollywood Studio Voice Man" raised and nurtured by the remarkable Vaudevillians and Studio Contract players of Radio's Golden Age of Entertainment Broadcasting, during a brief niche syndicated resurgence in the 1970s-'80s.
Corey had a seven year stint as the NBC Peacock Logo signature voice(s), with promo VO work on every major U.S. TV Broadcast network for more than 2 decades, and documentary narration on many educational programs and series. Then years of esoteric movie trailers and promos, best known for "Deja Vu", and Robert Rodriguez's "Planet Terror"/Grindhouse, "Machete" and El Rey Network, as well as signature voice of FX's "Fargo" series, and "Trust". He is one of the most popular announcer/character voice artists heard throughout Disney and Universal Theme Parks, and in historical/cultural educational exhibitions and visitors center installations worldwide.

And honored to portray the transcribed voice of Walt Disney himself in many Special Features/'Extras' pieces where Walt's documented archival quotes are part of the narrative.
