Katie Leigh
Since 1981, the talented Katie Leigh has been a part of the Los Angeles voice over community, staring in such Emmy-award-winning and fan favorites hits as “Muppet Babies,” “Darkwing Duck,” “Richie Rich,” “Disney’s Adventures of the Gummi Bears,” “Totally Spies,” and many more. In 1987, she took on the role of Connie Kendall in the world-wide radio show “Adventures in Odyssey,” a role she has lovingly continued ever since. More recently, she supplied her voice over talents to such high profile projects as “LEGO Star Wars: The Padawan Menace,” “The Extraordinary Adventures of Poppycat” “Zou,” and “Get Blake.” In 2015, Katie took on her first voice directing job with the award winning radio play “Rex Tanner and the Sword of Damocles.”
She has an extensive background in ADR, which includes supplying the voice for the Maharaja in “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.” Katie is best known for her fantastic children, teen and character voices (but she can sound like a grown-up, too!).
She is happily married and is mother to five grown children.
Will Ryan
Will Ryan has been a regular on the radio series “Adventures in Odyssey” since its beginning 29 years ago. His voices are also heard in many animated films such as “The Little Mermaid”, “Land Before Time”, “Thumbelina”, and the recent Academy Award-nominated Mickey Mouse cartoon “Get a Horse!”. He is the leader of Will Ryan & the Cactus County Cowboys and has performed with them and the Saguaro Sisters throughout the West. Will and the Saguaro Sisters perform regularly at the Autry Museum of Western Heritage and in January of 2016 they will be touring Australia, where their recordings have proven inexplicably popular.
He has given voice to Disney’s Pegleg Pete, Petrie in the original “Land Before Time,” the Seahorse in “The Little Mermaid,” and many, many more characters on radio, TV, and in films. He is co-creator of the comedy team Biffle & Schuster, whose comedy short films are gaining popularity on the Internet. He is a published author, and is also a gifted and prolific songwriter and performer and head honcho of the Cactus County Cowboys. He is also a co-founder of Fort Blanket Revue, but you know him best as Odyssey’s defective detective Harlow Doyle, P.I. and as Odyssey’s resident genius Eugene Meltsner.
The Saguaro Sisters –Shona, Karona & Katriona
More than just a fantastic singing group, the Saguaro Sisters are a real family! Shona, Karona and Katriona perform original songs as well as standards from the 1920s through the 1950’s with a charm and style reminiscent of the Boswell Sisters and the Andrews Sisters. The trio sings regularly at the Coffee Gallery Backstage in Altadena, at Maxwell DeMille’s Cicada Club in Los Angeles and with Will Ryan at the Autry Museum of Western Heritage. They performed at the 2014 CineCon Film Festival Banquet, and in December of that year won the Entertainment Achievement Award presented by the Southern California Motion Picture Council . The Sisters are heard on the latest recording of Will Ryan & The Cactus County Cowboys and in their own newly-released CD of jazz standards. Their big screen debut will be in “The Adventures of Biffle & Shooster,” a brand new 1930s comedy produced and directed by Michael Schlesinger. Not content with being great singers, the Saguaros are fine actors as well. Shona won the recurring role of Jules Kendall, Connie Kendall’s half-sister, on “Adventures in Odyssey after a nationwide acting competition. And soon you’ll be hearing all three on the popular radio series!
