| Isaac Marshall's knack for imitating friends and cartoon characters was realized by many at Nintendo's R&D group where he worked as a game and audio designer. Later, Isaac would send an audio tape to NCL with one minute of various voices spoken in a multitude of languages. NCL was impressed with his range and selected him to do various odd voices. Among his voice acting roles in the ''[[Mario (series)|Mario]]'' series, was as the voice of [[Toad]] in the overseas versions of ''[[Mario Kart 64]]''.

| "''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.{{refneeded}}

| ''"I do it because it's 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.''"{{refneeded}} | |
