Kelsey Walmer suffers no fools. Well, at least that's the point of view she had when voicing the Accountant character in "Loosey Goosey & Fried Chicken." "I started the process of building the character off Jan from "The Office." That no-nonsense attitude, and the feeling that everyone is beneath her, started the ball rolling." Kelsey also injected some of her own experience from working with others. "There's always one person that you work with where you wonder: how did they get this job? More importantly, how have they kept it??"
The Accountant character plays an important catalyst role in the upcoming "Loosey Goosey" show. As a corporate rep for TGI-Apples – a chain restaurant that presents itself as neighborly – The Accountant pushes Chef Jacques Sausage to bring profits up… which puts the Chef on the eponymous characters' tail.
As a theater major at Loyola Marymount, Kelsey minored in animation where she started her voice acting journey. "When my animation classmates learned I was a theater major, many of them had me do voices in their animation projects." After winning some voice over awards at festivals, Kelsey also learned from her mentor Debi Derryberry, one of the most sought after voice actors in the biz, the voice of Jimmy Neutron, and countless other popular voices for over 30 years. Said Kelsey, "Debi has been a wonderful voice over mentor, from teaching me the basics of mic technique, to helping me discover a range of voice I didn't realize I had, to intelligently and creatively breaking down a script."
Kelsey continues performing in live action roles, but loves voice acting. "Part of the fun is that there's no typecasting in animation. I Can play anything: a grandmother, a kid, and the family dog… in the same show, or even the same scene!”
During the quarantine, Kelsey is big on the Nintendo game Animal Crossing, and watching Netflix's "Tiger King." Keep an eye out for Kelsey and her Accountant performance in upcoming "Loosey Goosey & Fried Chicken."
