Guests

Animaritime is excited to host guests from a variety of scenes such as voice acting, comics, singers, play writes and much more. For information regarding our current guests see below.

Kelley Armstrong has been telling stories since before she could write. Her earliest written efforts were disastrous. If asked for a story about girls and dolls, hers would invariably feature undead girls and evil dolls, much to her teachers’ dismay. Today, she continues to spin tales of ghosts and demons and werewolves, while safely locked away in her basement writing dungeon. She lives in southwestern Ontario with her husband, kids and far too many pets.

He's the voice of Yashamaru, Sakon and Ukon (and others) in Naruto, Yumichika Ayasegawa in Bleach, Bokomon in Digimon Frontier, and so many others! Please help us welcome Brian Beacock!

Her play Answer the Question, Iris, has been performed all over the US from New York to Kentucky to California.

Animaritime is really excited to Welcome Sickboy Podcast to the 2017 Convention! Sickboy consists of Brian, Jeremie, and Taylor. Sickboy Podcast is hilarious, ridiculously insightful and absolutely determined to break down the stigma associated with illness and disease! The show started with three best friends who recognized that when faced with difficult situations, illnesses and diseases, people tighten up, they get awkward, and they simply don't know what to say.
Not only will they be presenting, but they will have a spot set aside to hear from you! to share your insights and stories.
Join us in welcoming Jeremie, Taylor, and Brian of Sickboy Podcast!
