Arinn Dembo

Andy Yu read several roles for our science fiction strategy game, Sword of the Stars 2: Lords of Winter. He has a rare voice, deep and masculine without being gravelly or marked by age, and in front of the microphone he plays extremely well in both human and non-human roles, as both a hero and a villain. Yu is an intense performer who brings a great deal of passion and charisma to his roles. I would recommend him to any casting director who needs a man to convey strength, honor, commitment and dramatic intensity.
