Cleveland, Ohio

The voice funds the films.

I'm Tommy Hallal, a voice actor with a filmmaking background. This is how the two fit together, told front to back.

Chapter One

The other half

Most people meet the leading man first. This chapter is the other guy: goofy, wild, and the reason the serious read never comes off stiff.

A true leading man read at center, goofy and wild within reach, and the warmth never drops out.

If you need a shorthand, people compare me to Don Draper, Kronk, Mr. Peanutbutter, and Han Solo. I trained in Meisner at the Houde School of Acting and in voice acting at Voice Crush.
