On March 11, 1956, Vocal Magic was born and was named Robert Fredrick Paulsen III. Originally from Detroit, Michigan, Rob loved cartoons as a kid and aspired to be a professional hockey player. Ironically, acting was something to "fall back on" and even though Rob voiced numerous characters in [[Warner Bros]] cartoons (''[[Taz-Mania]]'', ''[[Tiny Toon Adventures]]''), he is best known as the voice of the boisterous and energetic laboratory mouse Pinky on two hit series, ''[[Pinky and The Brain]]'' and ''Pinky, Elmyra and the Brain''.
"I'm getting paid to do what I got in trouble for in the seventh grade," jests Rob Paulsen, who won a Daytime Emmy in 1999 as "Outstanding Performer in an Animated Program" for ''Pinky and the Brain'' (WB). Though nominated twice previously, the victory was especially sweet due to the most formidable competition ever - fellow nominees Louie Anderson, Ernest Borgnine, Dom DeLuise and Jeffery Tambor. In addition to his Emmy, Rob won back-to-back Annie Awards in 1997 and 1998. "I absolutely love what I do and thank my lucky stars for 25 years of full-time employment in this business," he admits.
