Celebrating Hispanic Voice Actors!

Disney's Encanto

Diversity is powerful. It drives creativity, fuels innovation, and provides opportunity for expansion and growth. Every year from September 15 to October 15, communities across America celebrate National Hispanic Heritage Month. Hispanic Heritage Month is a time to recognize and celebrate the many contributions, diverse cultures, and extensive histories of the American Hispanic community.

In honor of Hispanic Heritage Month and in recognition of the incredible work Hispanic voice actors have contributed over the years, we wanted to share a sampling of influential, established, and up-and-coming Hispanic Voice Actors, with highlights of their work.
