Dawn Hershey came to Los Angeles in 1995 and started working at Nickelodeon Animation Studios. There, she worked her way up through the ranks from Receptionist to Casting Assistant, Casting Coordinator, Casting Supervisor, and finally Casting Director. Dawn joined the Casting Society of America (CSA) in 1999 and has been a full time Casting Director ever since. From Nickelodeon, she moved on to Icebox.com in 2000 where she was hired as the Executive Director of Casting to cast and record over 50 animated shorts for the internet. After the dotcom bubble burst, Dawn jumped with 3 Icebox associates to co-found Blindlight in 2001 (a production services company for the video game industry) and she oversaw all of the voice-over production there for 7 years. Casting voices for video games allowed her to create, develop, and hone amazing organizational systems for casting large quantities of characters in short amounts of time. While holding down full time jobs at each of these companies, Dawn continued to build her freelance career. She continues to cast new media projects, commercial VO’s, animated films, direct to videos, and animated television shows. Her resume can be found at https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1415799/.
