Biography: "Susan Blu has directed hundreds of animated series' episodes, but began in cartoons in voice over - with more than 60 lead characters to her credit.
Born in St. Paul, Minn. Blu first came to Los Angeles while in her last year at Stephens College in Columbia, Mo. During that visit, she was spotted by a talent scout from Screen Gems and brought to Hollywood to join the studio's talent program.
Landing voice-over work, Blu went on to lend her talents to such characters as the Pillsbury Dough Girl, Pansy and Granny Smurf in The Smurfs, Stormer in Jem, Arcee on Transformers, and Princess Paw Paw on The Paw Paws.
Since branching off into directing, she has become one of the industry's most prolific talents. She has helmed such series as The Tick, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Magic School Bus, G.I. Joe, The New Adventures of He-Man, and VOR-Tech.
In addition to the recognition she has received from her directing, voice and vocal creations, Blu has proven to be an accomplished on-camera actress as well, with numerous television, theatrical and commercial apperances to her credit, including guest starring roles on the series Knight Rider, The Bob Newhart Show, St. Elsewhere and Simon & Simon.
When not acting, voicing or directing, Blu teaches workshops for voice-over acting, and has co-authored the highly acclaimed, best-selling book, Word of Mouth: A Guide to Voice-Over Excellence." - Wing Commander Academy
