Shannon is a 22yr old animation graduate from the South Yorkshire, United Kingdom.
Shannon always knew she wanted to be an artist and when watching anime and countless behind the scenes from Pixar in her early teens did she realise that she wanted to pursue a career in animation. Her art teachers told her that drawing manga wouldn’t get her anywhere, so she focused on traditional fine art to get grades. At university, she honed her skills and mixed her traditional art with her love for manga, forming her unique art style. Shannon recently worked as the director and lead animator on ‘Guardian’, a final year project. She received high praise for art direction and animation. Shannon can’t wait to start work on Paradise!

Jenna Kathleen (Tolva)
Jenna Kathleen dreamt of being a voice actor ever since she discovered her favorite animated characters were actually real people recording in booths. Growing up, she dipped her toes into theater both in school and within her community. After much thought, she finally made herself a home studio of sorts where she can do all the voice over work she wants. Since then, she has been in such titles as AGL Studios' "The Faulty Apprentice" as Bunny Guard, and Molly in Panthea Games' "My Time At Portia." Her dream is to work with the studios she used to watch growing up -- including Funimation, Studio Ghibli, and (of course) Disney. For now, though, she's your local crazy cat lady who loves KPOP, collecting tsum tsums, playing video games, and keeping up with her favorite D&D campaign, "Critical Role."
