Katie Leigh Talks Voice Acting and Her Christian Faith

If you grew up in the 1980s and '90s, Katie Leigh was an interictal part of your childhood. She's been on everything from the "Muppet Babies", "Richie Rich", "The Adventures of the Gummie Bears", "Dungeons & Dragons" and "Darkwing Duck", just to name a few. She's also the voice of Connie Kendall on "Adventures in Odyssey", an Evangelical Christian-themed radio drama/comedy series.

Katie and I became friends when I first interviewed her for FanboyNation at a convention realizing we were both San Francisco State University alumni and Christians, yet on opposite sides of the family tree. If not for Katie, I would have never gotten into voice over and announcing, never gotten to voice Jesus Christ in Aramaic for "The Bible Project" and everything that's happened since, which I will be eternally grateful to her.

In our conversation, we learn about Katie Leigh's career, her work in voice over, her conversion from the Episcopal Church to the Evangelical moment and finding the balance between her faith and being a performer.
