Career paths in Hollywood can be notoriously circuitous; unwilling to settle into a 'glam' career just because it was coveted, such was the case for Kat Cressida.   After starting out in the mail room at William Morris, she became a junior literary agent, and then decided to transition to on-camera acting, only to find her true calling was in voiceovers.  She recently recorded James Cameron’s AVATAR, PRINCE OF PERSIA (Videogame) and RATCHETT  & KLANK (Videogame); and is currently working on ROBIN HOOD (Ridley Scott), THE BACK UP PLAN (voicematch for Jennifer Lopez),  ARCHER (F/X Animated Series) and TOY STORY 3 (voicematch).

An alumna of UC Berkeley, and the A.C.T. masters program in San Francisco, with degrees in Shakespeare and Theater Production, Kat will share her experience as a former agent and current voice talent in 'the biz behind the biz', discussing how to navigate the entertainment industry as a writer, director, actor or other entertainment professional.
