Over 50 years in show business
Glenn Williams is an actor, puppeteer, voice-over artist and host with over 50 years in show business. He has appeared in numerous television shows and films as an actor and puppeteer, and he loves exploring puppeteering and his voice skills.
It started early. In Glenn's words: "When I was 7 and 8 years old I appeared as a regular Cub Scout ventriloquist kid with a puppet named Terry on the BCTV children's Saturday morning show, Pete's Place starring ventriloquist Peter Ralston."
Glenn has puppeteered on FOX's Animal Control (seasons 1, 2 and 3), and he was one of the puppeteers for Dr. Colosso on Nickelodeon's The Thundermans: Undercover. He has also started developing a new YouTube series, working title Ozlo the Troll, about a troll in Norway discovering the world.
Training and teaching
Glenn performed all through school, acting, announcing and hosting school events, and doing his ventriloquism in talent shows. Through his teens he was a DJ at the teen discotheques.
He completed the Film and TV Production Studies program at Capilano College, and studied for years under Peter Breck at the Breck Academy of Dramatic Arts in Vancouver. His full list of classes and workshops is on his resume.
Glenn was also a director, spokesperson and instructor for the Ailanthus Performing Arts Center, a Vancouver inner-city youth performing arts program funded by Bob and Lynda Bentall, Cedar Foundation. It helped youth use the performing arts to make their lives richer.
His voice-over workshops include:
- Private voice coaching with Ian Raffel
