SacAnime Winter 2027 Welcomes Courtney Lin
After one traumatic summer interning in a small rat lab, Courtney Lin decided that maybe the medical field was not the best route for her to go. She declared to her Taiwanese mother that she was dropping her initial plans for med school to make funny faces into camera (cue her mother’s screams of despair). From there, she transitioned into also making funny noises into microphones. She then applied for and graduated from the on-camera acting program at UCLA, and since then has been able to meow, scream, giggle, and KYAH! her way into various projects. Don’t worry, her mom is fine now.
Courtney’s specialties in voiceover include animation, video games, toys, commercials, anime, dubbing, ADR/looping, and VO career coaching. Animation credits include Monster High, The Casagrandes, Teenage Euthanasia, Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Video games include Diablo 4, Starfield, Fire Emblem Heroes, Mario Kart World, Pokemon Masters EX, & CookieRun Kingdom. Anime credits include Panty & Stocking, Black Rock Shooter Dawn, Romantic Killer, Mashle: Magic and Monsters, and Welcome to Demon School Iruma-Kun. Commercial credits include McDonald’s, ATT, Google, Toyota, Best Buy, Corona, Hatchimals, & SeatGeek.
Aside from VO, Courtney also has extensive training in drama and on-camera work, and has worked on hit shows such as Barry (opp. Bill Hader), Truth be Told (opp. Octavia Spencer), The Dropout (opp. Dylan Minnette), Sugar (opp. Colin Farrell), Night Court (opp. Melissa Rauch) and Ted (opp. Seth Macfarlane).
In her time away from her tiny padded box of foam (re: home office), Courtney enjoys cooking, teaching dance classes, and cuddling with her cats. She is also a co-founder of The School of Voiceover and co-host of Official_1UpTV on IG/YouTube.
As a coach, her VO students have gone on to sign with agents such as Atlas Talent, Artistic Talent, Dean Panaro Talent, & CESD, and she takes immense pride in her work helping students find their voice in the voiceover world.
