Corey Burton is a Multi-Voiced Professional Character Voice Actor/Announcer for over 30 years, since age 17. He is schooled in classic traditions of Radio Theatre, becoming the last fully qualified character & lead actor "Voice Man" accepted into Hollywood's original Radio Acting Community, during a ten-year resurgence in the 1970s.
Corey had a seven year stint as a NBC Peacock Logo signature voice, with promo announcing on every major American TV network for more than 2 decades; and documentary narration on many educational networks. He is one of the most popular "utility" announcer/character voice actors for both Disney and Universal Theme Parks, world-wide.
TV Animation credits highlighted by Disney and Warner Bros., Corey also voiced characters for the original "Transformers" series. His feature film ADR/voice work includes:
- E.T.
- Critters
- Total Recall
Disney
- Aladdin
- Hunchback
- Mulan
- Pixar's Toy Story 2
Lead Roles
- Atlantis, the Lost Empire as 'Moliere'
- Disney's "Return to Neverland as 'Capn Hook'
- Walt Disney himself in 'Special Edition' Disney Classics DVDs.
His voice characterizations are featured in Video Game blockbusters like "Final Fantasy" and "Kingdom Hearts". He is known for distinctive old-fashioned logo voices for Old Navy, and Real California Cheese radio spots, and is also a former radio/TV/industrial sound production engineer.
If you are a Rainbow Brite fan, you have heard him play "Murky Dismal" in the music records. Corey is familiar with the voice of Murky Dismal having worked with Peter Cullen, the speaking voice of Murky, in the original Transformers TV Show.
I already knew Peter at that time - as cast members in both Transformers and Chip'n'Dale Rescue Rangers series; but I don't think the singing voice was supposed to be a perfect match anyway. They may have merely described what the voice was like for the session; at most, I would have been played a brief sample of what Peter had done. There was very little concern or regulation over character voices in those days, and individual production teams generally did whatever they felt "fit" the role, within very limited budget and time constraints.
