Voice Over Artist Of The Week






Hey everyone, One of the things I would like to share with you guys are some Actors and actresses who are known for doing voice over work, so this week I decided to talk about the creator of one of my favorite television series, Seth Macfarlane.
Seth Macfarlane is an actor, comedian, writer, producer, and singer/song writer from Kent Connecticut. After graduating from college with a Bachelors of Fine Art he was invited to Hollywood and became an animator and writer for Hanna-Barbera Productions for shows such as Johnny Bravo, Dexter’s Laboratory, and I Am Weasel.

Macfarlane is known for his show Family guy, the show were that dad (Peter) does stupid things while the baby (Stewie) is a Maniacal baby genius who constantly tries to kill his mother and take over the world. Originally created in 1999 family guy was then canceled a few years later in 2002 due to low ratings. But in 2005 after the shows reruns became the most watched program Fox brought back the show. What I always find interesting about this show is that even though the show has so many characters in every episode they are all played by 5 or 6 people and Seth speaks for a majority of the main characters, the baby Stewie, the father Peter, the Dog Brian, and Peter’s friends Joe and Quagmire are just some of the many voices Seth plays during this show.


Seth has worked on several other shows as well as worked on his first feature film Ted back in 2012. 
Some of his awards include 2 Emmy Awards along with 17 nominations for Family Guy, 3 Grammy nominations, Annie Award and MTV Award nominations as well.
Seth Macfarlane is a very talented successful person, and that’s why I would consider him to be one of my personal favorite voice over artist.

  1. It was hard watching him in his movie A Million Ways to Die in the West, I got too used to his voice being the face of Brian from family guy.
