Joshua Seth (born December 2, 1970 as Joshua Seth Freedman) is an American comedian, magician, entertainer and voice actor. He was born in Kent, Ohio, and graduated from Theodore Roosevelt High School in 1987.[1][2] As a child, Seth attended several experimental programs at Kent State University. After high school, he attended Hampshire College as well as the New York University film school. He has lent his voice for many popular anime characters and can be heard as the starring voice on the animated TV series Digimon. He is known for his extremely distinct voice and usually plays very laid-back, friendly characters. He was also the announcer of "Kids WB's Aftertoons Show" block and "Saturdays: Unleashed" block. He has also recently stated on "Did You Know Anime?" on YouTube that he would reprise his role as Taichi Kamiya's English voice actor in Digimon Xros Wars (Fusion) and Digimon Adventure Tri, if Saban were to request his services. [3]
He retired from voice acting in 2005, and focused on his touring live stage show.[4] He currently performs as a mentalist and formerly as a magician. He has won awards from Hollywoodʼs famed Magic Castle, starred in four of his own TV specials in Japan and South Korea, and performed at over 2,000 events in over 30 countries to date.[5]
He is the author of a book on the use of hypnosis for weight loss as well as his new best-selling book on productivity and high-achievement called "Finding Focus In A Busy World". [6]
Joshua Seth trained as a performing artist at New York University’s prestigious Tisch School of the Arts. He lives in Saint Petersburg, Florida with his wife and two children.[7]
