He speaks to the times in his career when he was struggling to “make ends meet” and offers sound advice and inspiration to those who want to work in the voiceover industry. Matt talks about some of the people who inspire him like physicist Richard Feynman, and voice acting legends like Mel Blanc, Rob Paulsen and Jim Cummings. He shares the ways that he gives back to voice actors starting out and also charity work he’s involved with for www.826National.org that helps underprivileged kids develop their creative writing and storytelling abilities. Matthew explains the significance of the bracelets he wears which serve as powerful life reminders and he reveals the times when he’s the happiest and some places in the world that he loves to go.
