Biography
Travis Willingham is an acclaimed voice actor and CEO of Critical Role Productions, best known for his powerful performances in anime and video games. Named Voice Actor of the Year at the 2017 BTVA Awards, Willingham's distinctive voice and range have made him one of the industry's most sought-after talents, particularly for heroic and commanding roles.
Role in Dispatch
In Dispatch, Travis Willingham voices Phenomaman, the powerful alien hero-for-hire and public face of the Superhero Dispatch Network. Willingham's experience voicing Thor and other commanding heroes translates perfectly to Phenomaman's god-tier physical abilities (Combat 9, Vigor 9) combined with emotional awkwardness around human relationships. His performance captures both the overwhelming power and cultural confusion of an alien struggling to understand Earth customs while dating SDN division leader Blonde Blazer.
