About ZachWells

The Friendly Neighbourhood Baritone

Look out Nolan, look out Troy, look out Yuri, look out everybody else (just too many to name, whew!), here comes some guy nobody has ever heard or even heard of, but maybe you will someday!

This fella here was born in 1991 in Calgary, Alberta Canada, and he's residing in the area ever since, he always had a dream to entertain, bring smiles to people's faces, and to act. As a result, he grew up a goofball, a class clown, pulling faces and voices at every chance he got. 



Now a few years back he decided that life is just too short to have a dream and not go for it. He was always told that he had a voice for this, anyway. So, he figured "what the Hell?", he built a studio in his Dad's basement in another town with his own hands, he joined Voices.com, he auditioned his butt off, and... he didn't get hired once, his Dad sold his house, he tore down his studio and put his dream on hold for a year and a half while he tried to find a suitable place to build a studio in his own home!



Not exactly a Cinderella story, but that's life right? Great thing about the horse, even when it bucks you off, it's always there waiting for you to climb back on it, and damn it, this horse will be tamed, and its name will be Stanley! "But Zach, why Stanley?" I hear you cry, well, because Stanley is a great name for a horse. Duh.



Where was I? Oh yeah, I got a suitable apartment and rebuilt my studio. Bigger, stronger, better than the first one!



I found CastingCall.Club while looking for alternatives to Voices.com or Voices123. Thought that it fits my niche a little better, partially because I'm a broke struggling actor, but mostly because it's more character driven rather than commercial. I'd much rather be the voice you hear on a cartoon or video game, than a voice you hear when you see a commercial for oats. Wee, oats.



It's also a community of like-minded people, creators, artists, actors, all trying to either make a name for themselves, start a career, or to enjoy a hobby, to stretch and flex their creative muscles. I see you, you sexy creative body-builders you. 



So, I joined CCC, got to work auditioning that day, and have been lucky enough to land a few roles. Now that's what I'm talking about! Maybe it is a Cinderella story after all! Who knew they made glass slippers in size 12 mens? 



Will this train keep a-rolling? Who knows? But all I know is that I will not stop doing this, it's who I am.



During this journey I found myself, I rediscovered my inner child, I rediscovered the joy of play. At the end of the day, that's what we do as creators, actors, artists. We play.



Is this long winded? I feel like it's long winded. Anyhoo, hopefully you enjoy what this Canuck Jaw Cannon has to offer!



"Believe, the future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams."



Never stop playing.

    A great professional and easy to work with. He was very open to taking direction. He's very driven and a hard worker. I also really liked that he was willing to go above and beyond, to do everything he could, to make sure that everything was the best it could be.

    Mr. Wells is fantastic!

    I cast him for 4 minor roles for my Futurama audio drama project and he completely exceeded all expectations. Great audio quality, amazing voice work and very professional.
    Great job Zach and I hope I get the chance to work with you again in the future and perhaps for more of a major role next time.

    Zach's got an amazing voice and knows how to use it. He's also super professional and probably the nicest guy on the internet. What more could you want?

    I cast him as Superman, turns out he's basically the real thing!

    I'm hoping to work with him a lot more in the future, but if there's any justice in the world, he'll be too busy with big-time projects by the time I ask.

  • @mrsmelissasheldon

    Zach was an absolute pleasure to work with! He was quick, efficient, professional, and on time with his lines. His communication was on-point, and consistently gave an excellent performance with little to no direction needed. He went above and beyond, providing an unexpected humor to a part that I wasn’t even aware was missing something until hearing his version! Thanks for being a part of this project!

  • @deleted86592

    I think it has taken me too long to say this but Zach is beyond capable and carries himself extremely well in the roles he plays. He sadly had to replace my character on a project when it became apparent that I was incapable of supplying lines to my director's demand. However, I don't think they could have cast a better person to take the wheel from where I left it. One would say he even did a better job then I did. I would highly recommend him for any role for not only his voice but reliablity.

  • @phantasmal-bard-studios

    Zach voiced one of our deeper-voiced characters in the linked work. Zach was awesome. He was professional and easy to get along with for the project. This guy's got a great voice and will serve your project well.
