This week Inside Alicyn’s Wonderland, we jump into the wonderful world of voice acting together with prolific voice actor and voice coach Rick Zeiff. Rick’s career dates all the way back to the mid-1980s, allowing him to lend his voice to some of the most iconic characters through the years. Some of the roles Rick has played include Mr. Nosey (as Mr. Nosy) and Mr. Nervous in the American dub of The Mr. Men Show, Spike the Dog on Warner Bros. Animation’s The Tom and Jerry Show, Lynn Loud Sr.’s father Leonard “Gramps” Loud in The Loud House,  Shusuke Amagai in season 9 of popular anime Bleach, and most recently, Croaks in The Cuphead Show. 

 Join us as we talk about his experiences while playing his many characters, including Mr. Nosy, Mr. Nervous, and Spike. Rick also talks about his wife and talented daughter, Katie Zeiff! We also get touch upon the time he took on the role to cast for the American dub of Gundam and direct for the cult classic, Akira.
