Island FanCon is introducing a new voice-acting challenge called Speak-Up! as part of its main stage events on March 28, 2025. The event gives fans a chance to showcase their vocal talents. 

Participants will perform table reads with the celebrity panel, creating voices for characters for cartoons and video games. 

“We’re happy to offer Speak-Up! at Island FanCon,” said Lonnie Eckardt, founder of the event. “It’s about having fun with your voice and learning from professionals.”

One participant will win a professionally-designed demo reel and a contract with a talent agent. Speak-Up! will take place at 7:30 p.m. at City Centre Park in Langford. All ticket-holders can pre-register on the Island FanCon website, at islandfancon.com.

Island FanCon 2025 runs from March 28 to 30 and will feature celebrity guests, panels, and cosplay contests among other things.
