Rob Paulsen is one of Hollywood’s busiest, most talented and most passionate performers. If you don’t know him by name, you will know him by the many characters he has brought to life: Pinky from Pinky and the Brain and Yakko from Animaniacs, the tough, but lovable, Raphael from the original animated Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and many more.

So, you can imagine how terrifying it must have been when Rob was diagnosed with throat cancer, putting his entire livelihood in jeopardy and threatening to rob the world of all his lovable characters that filled our youth and adulthood with humour and delight.

VOICE LESSONS tells the heart-warming and life-affirming story of Rob’s experience with an aggressive cancer treatment and recovery regime, which luckily led to a full recovery. Rob quickly returned to doing what he loves most, but with a much deeper appreciation of what he came so close to losing. His new lease of life inspired him to rededicate himself to his fans, particularly the new friends he made along the way: hundreds of sick children and their families. Rob said it best himself: I can not only continue to make a living, but make a difference and I can’t wait to use that on the biggest scale that I can.
