Meet the talent behind creative voice concepts

Mark Brubaker is a talented voice over artist who can transform into a litany of characters with a variety of accents. His passion for creating and perfecting new voices has recently led him to pursue the craft with a renewed enthusiasm.

Born and raised in the town of Reading, Pennsylvania, as a child Mark would mimic the voices of his favorite cartoon characters – just as a fun game for himself. Then as he grew, Mark developed a greater appreciation for the skill of acting. The late great Mel Blanc, who voiced dozens of iconic cartoon characters from Bugs Bunny to Barney Rubble, became one of Mark’s idols. Armed with inspiration from Blanc and admirable entertainers in the world of film, Mark honed his voice with signing throughout high school, even performing with a local opera.

After working in the field of technology for the past few decades where he employed his charisma and creativity to sharpen his presentation skills, Mark returned to the world of acting and performance. He studied voice-over work with the Albany-based White Lake Music and Post, and became a member of the Upstate Independent Film Network. Mark broke back into the acting world in 2018, embodying Count Orlok from the 1920s classic Nosferatu at a local interactive performance, as well as voicing animatronic characters.

Mark loves collaborating with other performers, feeding off the interactions to bring more engaging characters to the audience. But for Mark, no other activity matches the exhilaration of imagining and embodying a new character, new accent or new voice.
