Sam Riegel

Sam Riegel is one of those voices you have heard far more than you realise. Donatello in the 2003 Ninja Turtles, Phoenix Wright in Ace Attorney, Teddie in Persona 4, his range jumps across wildly different registers and lands every time. What fascinates me is that he is not only a performer but a writer, director and producer too. An actor who understands the architecture behind the microphone tends to make sharper choices in front of it, and his work as a voice director proves it. He thrives behind the scenes, shaping projects rather than chasing the spotlight, and his enduring career is the proof of that craftsmanship.
