5 Things That Halp Craig Lee Thomas!

Craig Lee Thomas is a stage, screen, and voice actor based in Los Angeles. After studying at the Stella Adler Studio in New York City through NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts under Master teachers Ron Burrus, Betsy Parrish, and Jimmy Tripp, Craig went on to perform in regional and off-off-Broadway theater, including 3 seasons at the Tony Award-winning Utah Shakespeare Festival, and a New York Times critically acclaimed performance in Colin McKenna’s ‘Parking Lot, Lonely Heart’.

  1. Nin Jiom. Full Stop. The goo. The goop. The sauce. The lifesaver.

  2. $6 towel hook from Target to hang my headphones up in my booth. Not having to hold them or set them on the desk, and having somewhere to easily stow them between reads is the best.

  3. Primo water machine. It makes that corner of my kitchen look like an office, but getting the 5 gallon jugs of filtered water is cheaper and more environmentally friendly than buying water bottles. Plus, instant-hot water for tea

  4. The Scriptation app for iPad. Organizes scripts, lets me highlight and scribble notes with ease.

  5. This quote, always:

“Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better.” -Samuel Beckett

As a voice actor, Craig has performed in dozens of interactive projects including ‘Honkai Star Rail’, ‘Starfield’, ‘Octopath Traveller 2’, ‘Wylde Flowers’, ‘Lost Ark’, ‘Star Wars Squadrons’, ‘World of Warcraft’, ‘Diablo Immortal’, and numerous upcoming AAA titles. Craig also is a Commercial and Interactive Demo Director at Real Voice, LA. Other work includes appearances on ‘Criminal Minds’, ‘Jane the Virgin’, ‘Dollface’, ‘How I Met Your Mother’, and commercial VO work for dozens of companies including Postmates, HP, Dunkin’ and Bank of America.

Reconnecting to Art During Stressful Times

I’m sick of news headlines…I feel like our collective day to day we’ve experienced so far this decade has been mainline quest after mainline quest after ...phew, that was a close one, let’s refuel and stock up on new gear—wait why are all the prices so high?!— oh hey look, a new mainline quest…! It’s beyond easy to feel hypervigilant about everything going on in games & entertainment…with rapidly advancing tech, layoffs, the constant analysis of what content gets made and why, the economy, how audiences consume media—you name it. If this sounds like you, you’re not alone! I also often find myself lost in the sauce! (If this doesn’t sound like you, don’t be shy, what is your secret??)

Netting in Networking

Listen, I don’t know about you, but I feel like the definition of “networking” has taken on a new meaning. I mean, what even is the concept of networking? Do I have to hand out business cards like I’m throwing shurikens at new clients? Should we have an elevator pitch ready to recite spelling bee style? At THN, we love being in a position where we get to be in the business, and ALSO foster a thriving, supportive community of various relationships within. The beauty of that is getting to know the people we get to work with as they are. People! Who just…happen to work in the same industry.

COMMUNITY SPOTLIGHT – ARIANA

I’m a Cypriot & Greek-American actress born and raised in Los Angeles, CA. Naturally, being a valley girl, I’ve always been curious about the industry! Though I first discovered acting through theatre, I was always an avid lover of video games, animation, and dubbing from a young age, sharing in those passions with my siblings. The moment I learned about voice-acting, the transition to that side of the industry was a no-brainer for me. I received my BFA in Musical Theatre from Emerson College and jumped right into professional voice work after graduating during the COVID-19 pandemic.
