Why is Dean the Most Interesting Voice Actor in the World?
VO Experience
Imagine, if you will, an 8-year-old kid hovering over a turntable, listening intently to a Lone Ranger adventure LP, enraptured by the images conjured up by the combination of music, sound effects, and voices alone…This was more fascinating than TV. This was TV in my head. Voices, along with those in my favorite TV cartoons, which expressed so many characters and emotions! Later, I would try my hand at doing voices, reading Mad Magazine movie parodies into my 3” reel-to-reel tape recorder, with different voices for each character. I enjoyed the act of storytelling, creating my own little audiodramas. As an adult, I would take on radio, acting onstage, looping for movies and TV shows, singing and playing in bands, and eventually train to do Voiceover full-time. Something that began as a child continues to drive me to this day.
Who Is Dean
I am a man who has had many different experiences. I grew up all over the US. I’ve had several careers: a spy for the NSA while in the Air Force, a Projectionist in Hollywood, a 4th grade teacher, and a Dad— My daughter, Bridgette Moody, is a singer and actress, and has recently come to Seattle and is joining me onstage regularly for a comedy show I've been working with since 2018. We're even writing music together! Today, I’m a full-time Voice Actor, bringing my love and enthusiasm of all these experiences into my work.
Where I’ve Been
Travel was instilled in my heart at an early age. My family moved many, many times throughout my childhood, thanks to my dad’s work as a consultant for the Aerospace Industry in the 60’s and 70’s. My public education took me through 15 different schools– I was always the “New Kid” in class! I’ve lived in California, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Arizona, Missouri, Texas, Maryland, Virginia, and Washington. I’ve moved over 40 times in my life, and this past year was spent living in an RV! As an adult, I’ve traveled to such interesting places as Mexico, Canada, Germany, Austria, France, Switzerland, the Czech Republic, England, New Zealand, and Australia, and was stationed in Southern Italy while in the service. I’m back in Seattle for now, but for who knows how long!

"I've been working with Dean for a long time. He has been the voice of my project from the beginning. His diction, voice and flow are impeccable. Beside being great at what he does, he's professional, easy to work with and financially flexible. Our communication has always been friendly and pleasant, with Dean quickly responding to my messages. Sometimes I would even be surprised how quickly he gets things done. When I was starting the project I didn't know exactly what I was getting into and Dean helped me with some very useful advice, even correcting my grammar on the scripts (since English is not my native language). Overall a great person to work with." - Ivan Poropat, The Native American History Channel
