Tryllium Announces Industry Workshop Featuring Veteran Voice Director Wes Gleason

August 6, 2026 - 00:42

Abacus Entertainment is bringing veteran casting and voice director Wes Gleason in for a hands-on industry workshop this October, marking his first collaboration with the company. The event is scheduled for October 17 and is designed to give working voice actors a direct line to someone with deep experience on both sides of the microphone.

Gleason has spent years directing voice talent for major animated series, video games, and dubbed productions. His credits span a wide range of genres, and he is known for his ability to pull nuanced performances from actors while keeping sessions efficient and creative. For many in the voice acting community, getting feedback from a director like Gleason is a rare opportunity, since most casting decisions happen behind closed doors.

The workshop will focus on practical skills: how to take direction quickly, adjust performance on the fly, and understand what casting directors are actually listening for in an audition. Attendees will get to work through scenes in real time, with Gleason offering notes and guidance as they go. The format is meant to simulate a real recording session, so participants can walk away with a clearer sense of what professional expectations look like.

Abacus Entertainment has positioned the event as a learning experience rather than a networking mixer, though the chance to perform in front of Gleason could open doors down the line. Spots are limited, and the company has not announced whether additional workshops will follow. For voice actors looking to sharpen their craft or break into the industry, this session offers a direct look at how a seasoned director approaches the job.
