"Only someone who finds such joy in performance could bring the sheer humor, intelligence, honesty, and soulfulness that Paulsen brings to Voice Lessons." — Seattle Book Review 

"As one of the most gifted, prolific, and beloved actors in animation, it's no surprise that Rob Paulsen's book is fascinating, hugely entertaining, and laugh-out-loud funny. What I wasn't expecting was his candid, inspirational, and ultimately life-affirming account of facing devastating medical issues with such optimism, courage, and determination. I only regret I'm too old to play him in the inevitable movie version.” — Mark Hamill

"Rob is more than relentlessly optimistic, he is a disciplined professional, skilled in the art of positivity. Every session with Rob is a master class in technique and collegiality. It is a privilege to work with him. It is an honor to know him. If I could design a humanitarian award in the world of voice acting, I’d call it the Rob and make it a statue of him with a mic sticking out of his head. And the first Rob goes to...Rob." — Sean Astin

“Rob is an incredible talent with an incredible story. I’m honored to be a small part of his journey in cartoons.” — Justin Roiland, creator and star of Rick and Morty 

 “Having worked with Rob I knew of the deep well of talent he could draw upon to create the extraordinary range of characters from Animaniacs, to Pinky, to a couple of Ninja Turtles. But it isn’t until someone is forced to confront their own mortality that you truly see their mettle. In watching Rob fight his way back to life, I discovered he is a treasure." — Kevin Conroy

“Want to know about the world of voiceover from a professional? One who has acted in some of the best-known cartoons ever made?  An actor who has been in demand for decades and has the respect of his peers?  How about learning by example to face adversity and yet be triumphant? Then this is the book for you.” — Andrea Romano, Emmy award-winning casting and voice director 

“One of the most accomplished and beloved performers in animation, Rob doesn’t shy from shameless expression. In this memoir he goes even deeper, sharing his most personal struggles and discoveries along the way. It’s a celebration of entertainment and the way it connects us all. It’s an inspiring peek behind the magic, exposing the rawness of a performer’s needs, the fears and insecurity we all share. He shines so brightly, it’s like a lighthouse guiding your way on a journey you’ll be glad you took.” — Seth Green

“I was stunned when I found out Rob had throat cancer. But true to form, he has NEVER been a victim. This page-turner will captivate and amaze you about the human spirit. Rob kills it, like his thousands of characters.” — Nancy Cartwright

“Rob Paulsen is inspirational to me not only for his legendary characters and ginormous heart, but now also for his incredible tale of strength and survival. I love this man!!! Cancer can go narf itself.” — Chris Hardwick

“Pinky and The Brain fans love to debate about which one is the genius and which one’s insane. But as the guy who has shared a microphone with him for many years, I can tell you that in real life, Rob Paulsen is the genius, not only by virtue of his quick, facile mind and legendary skills behind the mic, but of his huge and open heart. As for this book, you’ll find that, while you’re enjoying what starts out as a fun and informative peek behind the curtain into our world, an honest tale of real courage, inner strength, and the redemptive power of human connection sneaks up on you, moves you to your core, and has you hooked to the very last page. While Brain may never admit to loving Pinky, I’m totally unashamed to proclaim, I LOVE ROB PAULSEN. You will, too.” — Maurice LaMarche a.k.a. The Brain

"Man, does Rob have skills! I was filled with joy the first time I ever worked with the guy. His story is also one of bravest I've ever known, because he battled back so valiantly from cancer." — Billy West

“One of the most iconic, versatile, recognizable and hard-working voices in this industry, Rob has undoubtedly brought his magic through the world of animation, to the world of real life. He is truly one of the kindest, inspiring and deeply connected individuals you will ever meet. I get the honor of working with him consistently, and he has without a doubt changed my performances as a voice actress forever. Out of all the many voices that he has portrayed, it is his own that has been the greatest gift to this world.” — Kat Graham

"Deftly written with humor, candor and insight, "Voice Lessons: How a Couple of Ninja Turtles, Pinky, and an Animaniac Saved My Life" is an extraordinary, inherently fascinating read from cover to cover." — Midwest Book Review
