Here, he tells us all about it…
How did you get the job of voicing Esteban?
How old were you at thetime?
At the start of the series I was around 9 years old I think.
My name was forwarded to the director for this show and I was called in for an audition.

Basically we were asked to read some text, which went along with the animation.
But as the rounds of auditions progressed I grew increasingly excited.
In the end I ended up getting the part for Esteban.
Did you have to watch the programme first?
There was no requirement of viewing the series prior to recording it.
How did the recording work then?
Everything thing was done in sections.
Each episode was split into sections.
The recording room was dark and the animation would be projected on the front screen.
There would be a few audio tracks available sothat some characters could be recorded independently.
I was a huge fan of the show even before being offered the part of Esteban.
It drove me to read a great deal about the histories of the Conquistadors and these ancient civilizations.
Did you all get to record your lines together?
Not always, but I think I always enjoyed the energy/ group dynamicwhen we were all present.
It was a lot more fun!
You didnt stay in acting/voice work afterwards.
So what are you up to now?
Thats correct I left the theatrical world when I finished high school.
Right now I am an Engineer.
And finally, is the show something you get asked about often?
I am really pleased that people liked it.
The English version was never broadcast in Canada so I never knew of its popularity.
