Ever since he was little, Sebastián Llapur felt compelled to express himself through his voice, and by the age of 15 he was already doing artistic voice-overs for a local radio station. He continued his career in advertising voice-over until he fulfilled his life-long dream of breaking into the world of voice acting.
