Pit voice actor explains how he got the job
A portion of a Nintendo Life interview with Pit voice actor, Antony Del Rio...
NL: How did you begin your journey into voice acting? How did you come to pick up the role of Pit in Kid Icarus: Uprising?
ADR: To tell you the truth, voice acting was never something I thought would be part of my career. It first started out just me recording a few things for my agents when I had nothing else to do. Then, it just so happened that out of the possibly 100+ things that I recorded, one of them stuck and it was a show for Cartoon Network called "The Super Hero Squad Show". I was lucky because on this show I worked with some heavy hitters in this business like Tom Kenny, Charlie Adler, Steve Blum, Tara Strong, etc. I gained so much respect for voice acting and I started taking it seriously from then on. The voice director of Kid Icarus: Uprising heard about me from another voice director I worked with on previous games. Then she brought me in for an audition and thankfully I booked the job!
