VOICES

Here's a listing of the people who do the voices of
The Barnyard Buddies videos.

Mike the Mule Ron Krauss

Ron is a radio personality at WTKM Radio in Hartford, Wisconsin. He's "Mr. Personality", a real leader, and fits the character he plays.

Bruce the Bull Kurt Poth

Kurt has appeared in stage productions around the Milwaukee area. He has been in the video sales business for many years.

Polly the Pig Chris Bulgrin

Here's a gal with a great voice and fun personality. Her unsual voice brings a uniqness and speciality to the Polly the Pig character.

Sofie the Sheep Sheila Fellenz

Cheerio! Sheila is from England, but has made the U.S. her home for the past 20+ years. They say she's as stubborn as the character she plays. Rather!

Randy the Rooster John P. Parkins

John screech?...never!! If you only knew him! He has performed in many stage plays and musicals throughout Southeastern Wisconsin.

Gary the Goat James Flinn

Here's one talented man. From 3D animation to radio broadcasting, he's done it all. He does many voices, but his Gary the Goat is unforgettable.

Roberta the Rabbit Judy Wilson and Laura Medendorp

Judy played Roberta in VO1, but then moved to Maine. Judy is an exceptional artist, specializing in oils. She is also Cheryl Null's sister. We like to keep things in the family.

Laura came on board to do the voiceover of Roberta on VO2, after having sung Roberta the Rabbit's parts in VO1. She's an accomplished entertainer, with a lovely voice.
