SEAN CHIPLOCK
We are so excited to welcome the extremely talented Sean Chiplock to ALIAS Entertainment Expo: Rise of the Dragon!
His current most notable accomplishment includes becoming the voices of Revali, Teba, and Deku Tree in
Nintendo’s critically acclaimed hit The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Genshin Impact (Diluc),
Tokyo Revengers (Ken “Draken” Ryuguji) and JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure (Guido Mista) to name a few.
He lends his talents to commercials, anime, and videogames ranging all the way from indie to AAA. His love of gaming extends even further beyond the studio, with plenty of Dungeon Crawlers, JRPGs, and Smash Bros. battles helping to fill his free time and the Twitch streams he hosts every week (when work allows him to!). In both areas, his advice is the same: drink lots of water, believe in yourself, and only scream when it’s necessary – your
neighbors will thank you.
