As a child Michael Williams-Stark thought
to himself, "Let's see, I'm facially disfigured and vocally
distorted. How can I make life more miserable for myself? I know!
I'll become an actor and specialize in voice characterizations!"
And so...he did.
Despite being at the time of his birth, the worst
cleft lip and palate case in his home province of British Columbia,
Michael has gone on to be an award winning musician and improvisational
comedian. He is an ACTRA member and has provided voices for a number
of animated series including The Super Mario Bros., Beetlejuice,
Rupert Bear, six of the characters on the hit kid's show Noddy and
many others.
Michael combined his experiences as a child of
facial difference and as an actor/musician to create the making faces program. He is proof positive that if you dare to follow
your dreams they can be realized. He's a true inspiration to his
classes. It's his hope and goal to obtain funding to teach these
classes on a regular basis to a greater number of children.
