Kellen Goff’s Unstoppable Rise Through Gaming and Anime

Starting his voiceover training at age 13 – younger than any student Bob Bergen had taken before – Kellen Goff built his craft under a roster of industry veterans including Richard Horvitz, Charlie Adler, Debi Derryberry, and Mick Wingert. What set him apart early wasn’t just range; it was a neurological edge. Diagnosed with high-functioning autism, Goff developed an extraordinary ability to absorb and replicate sounds, then fuse them into vocal performances that land somewhere between haunting and magnetic.

Five Nights at Freddy’s and the Animatronic Legacy

The Five Nights at Freddy’s franchise gave Goff his breakthrough – and then kept giving. Joining the cast in 2016 as Funtime Freddy and Fredbear in Sister Location, he went on to embody Glamrock Freddy and the Daycare Attendant (Sun/Moon) in Security Breach, Foxy in the box-office live-action film, and Toy Freddy in the 2025 sequel. The sheer variety of tones he brings to these animatronic characters – from warm performer to deep-voiced menace – explains why the FNAF creative team keeps returning to him.

Villain Work in Anime Dubbing

Goff’s anime credits reveal a pattern: complex, frightening antagonists with layered psychology. As Kai Chisaki (Overhaul) in My Hero Academia, he balanced surgical coldness with barely restrained fury. In JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind, his take on Diavolo became a study in controlled menace – pitching the character higher whenever the villain’s composed exterior cracked, a deliberate acting choice Goff developed after studying the character’s dual psychology. His portrayal of Porco Galliard in Attack on Titan and the title role in Sasaki and Miyano show equal comfort in quieter, more grounded material.

Creature Vocals and the Game Audio Network Guild

Beyond dialogue, Goff carves out a niche in raw creature performance. His Game Audio Network Guild Award-nominated turn as Fiddlesticks in League of Legends leaned on his ability to construct hybrid vocal textures. The Bloater in The Last of Us: Part II pushed that further – a performance visceral enough to land in Universal Studios’ Halloween Horror Nights experience. Gorilla vocals for Sylva in Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes extended his work into feature film territory, with zero spoken lines and maximum physical presence.

Beyond the Booth

Goff’s work as casting director on Helluva Boss and audio editor on the Persona dancing titles shows a creative reach past performance. Active in The Ink Tank content collective since 2021, he contributes as writer, voice, and editor – bridging professional production and fan-facing community work with equal commitment.
