and click here to read Harvey's blog)

Harvey Kalmenson is one of the most highly respected and sought after voice casting directors in the world today. He also produces and is a production consultant on many of his assignments.

His skill as a creative problem solver, his consistent high energy level and his ability to evoke great performances from both accomplished actors and from children, make him a valuable resource in the areas of animated features, cartoon series, live action, radio and television commercials, and dubbing for foreign films. An intense focus for his client's needs and his compelling courage of conviction exemplifies this veteran's strong instincts.

Kalmenson's credits in the animated feature film area include the Sullivan Bluth classics: THE ICE WHALE, ALL DOGS GO TO HEAVEN, ROCK-A-DOODLE, and A TROLL IN CENTRAL PARK. His noted work on ELFQUEST is currently in release on video cassettes for the home video market, and he has completed work on the Calvert Cobbler feature animation film THE THIEF AND THE COBBLER.

In addition to his feature animation work, Kalmenson has had a stellar career as the head of the voice over department with Abrams-Rubaloff & Associates, one of the leading commercial talent agencies in Los Angeles.

He has worked with virtually every major voice over artist and has developed and enhanced the careers of many unknowns. He is senior director of auditions (celebrities, scale, children, foreign language, large groups, animation, improv, etc.) at the Kalmenson compound.

Auditions directed by "da harv" have been put right to air, (surviving client signoff) eliminating the need for the customary final recording session, when saving time was critical.
