DB Cooper - "(Having to go through hierarchy) I really rather be able to sit around a proverbial campfire with everybody and say let's share ideas and I know that doesn't always work but that's when it works the best as if you got everybody's view in the open and the authority to make decisions."

DB Cooper has been acting and directing for more than 30 years. You've heard her in Bioshock 2, Hearthstone, Firefall, and DC Universe Online. She casts and directs game dialogue, is a vocal sound consultant, and a voice coach with students worldwide.
