He is kind, patient, always prepared, has impeccable attention to detail, and as an actor himself, possesses the unique ability to inspire natural performances, draw out emotions, and create those magical moments in the VO booth that you never expected. Whether it's a sweet preschool series, an adrenaline-packed action show, or a quirky cerebral comedy, Darren has the versatility to elevate the words on the page and make any project a success! "

  • "Darren is one of the BEST directors I've worked with. He knows how to communicate with actors in a way that helps me find unique takes on scenes. He helps me find nuance and character choices I would not think to do on my own!"

  • "As a professional voice actor and director for over 35 years I have worked with many people in this industry. Darren Dunstan is hands down one of my favorites. Not every director needs to be an actor as well but in my experience, it helps. Darren understands how to talk to each actor in their own unique way. Recognizing the language needed to bring out their best performance. He is organized, focussed on the task, and brings humor and an ease that makes the process both enjoyable and productive."

    Eric Stuart - Actor, Pokémon (Brock/James)/Yu-Gi-Oh! (Kaiba)

  • “As an Audio Engineer, I've worked with Darren for almost thirteen years in his roles as Director and Voice Actor. His ability to recognize great vocal talent and direct them to get the best possible performance is second to none. The choices he makes with script interpretation always creates the smoothest and best possible flow to the story. He's punctual, polite and personable. He cares about the quality and success of the shows he works on and it shows. He’s one of the best!”
