Ned Lott spent years as Senior Manager for Disney Character Voices helping cast CARS,
MONSTERS INC, THE INCREDIBLES, PIRATES: DEAD MAN’S CHEST and many other Pixar/Disney projects. He recently worked on CORALINE for Universal, voice-directed a LORD OF THE RINGS project for Warner Bros plus other work with Nickelodeon. He is working now on Zambezia, an animated feature with Samuel L. Jackson, Abigail Breslin, Leonard Nimoy & Jeff Goldblum.

Ned is a master at getting adults- and kids- to understand a voice over scene, and will give each actor a better understanding of how to use their acting skills in voice performance sessions.

Voice over work is booming and new voices are needed! Actors assume that since A-list talent has
taken over in feature film animation voiceover, why try? While the trend for A-list talent to lead a
multi-million dollar Pixar/Disney/Dreamworks film is real, there is a boom & huge need for even
MORE voiceover actors; industrial animation projects, TV animation, video games, commercials,
internet/new media projects, radio, the list is virtually endless & the pay is spectacular. But, how do you break in? 
It isn't as hard as you think, but requires a bit of knowledge, the right reel & some advanced preparation.
