Dante Amada
Looking for a sweet and timid lab assistant, a socially awkward musician, a sweet but seductive boss lady, or a loner with fiery rage? Then look no further!
Let's tell a story!
About Me
Born in Moreno Valley, CA, Dante has always had a passion to tell stories ever since they saw one of the first films that inspired them to become an actor, 1994's The Mask with Jim Carrey. Originally as a kid they wanted to morph into Jim Carrey but science had deemed that impossible.Due to being bullied and picked on at an early age, Dante had become more self-conscious and too afraid to take further steps into becoming an actor. As a result, they would spend the rest of their childhood feeling hurt that their dream was never going to come true. That is until one day the passions that got them ridiculed and even bullied in high school re-ignited that lost dream.Dante is a passionate fan of nerd culture ranging from anime to videogames, movies, cartoons, and even comic books. It was a love from anime specifically and a visit to an anime convention panel about voice acting that inspired them to take back that dream one more time and to not let the world decide if they were good enough for it.From the time spent working as a voice actor, Dante had gotten to see many forms of media that they wouldn't have even given a minute of attention to. Even reading a page off a chapter book felt impossible. To further improve and prevent losing themselves again as they go out their comfort zone, Dante is also taking the time to work towards healing mentally, physically, and even spiritually.As of now, Dante is a remote capable voice actor that has received training from several pro voice actors as well as acting teachers at the University of Washington where they attended. They've gotten to work in indie animation, audio dramas, video games and even film.Their goal is to go further into their training and learn new ways to bring life into their characters and tell other's stories as well as their own. SO LET'S TELL OUR STORIES TOGETHER!!!
