Isaac Marshall

Isaac Marshall (August 22, 1962 – ) is a Game designer/voice actor/Audio Designer from Michigan, who voiced characters for Nintendo mainly during the 90's. His knack for imitating friends and cartoon characters was realized by many at Nintendo's R&D group where he worked as a game designer/audio designer. Later, Isaac would send an audio tape to NCL with 1 min of various voices spoken in a multitude of languages. They were impressed with his range and selected him to do various odd voices. Among his voice acting roles in the Mario series, one of his most well-known roles is the voice of Toad in Mario Kart 64. He also was the voice of Birdo and Bowser in some of Nintendo's games.

Isaac would leave Nintendo to continue working in gaming while providing voice over work under various aliases for TV and Film/Animation (Anime). When asked about his work with Nintendo and his voicework, he has commented:

"Nintendo was a great experience. Being an 18 year-old kid sitting in a room discussing conceptual ideas with Shigeru Miyamoto was a dream fulfilled. However, that was the tip of the iceberg... I wasn't content with designing a game and being a voice in it. I had to do more.  I wanted to utilize myself fully on any project.  You know, challenge myself.  Reinvent myself."

"I do it because its fun. I'm not on some mission to be a big name. I prefer to work in the shadows.  Because that's were the real magic is a constant.  Also, having these 'aliases' keeps me humble."

Isaac currently resides in Seattle.
