Joe Morales

Joe Morales is an original and current troupe member of *It's All Been Done Radio Hour*.

Joe has been acting since he was 11 years old, performing in school plays and musicals, some of which required various accents and fake mustaches. During a small break from theatre, he focused on classes while working as an assistant manager at a Sonic Drive-In, and as one of the music programming directors at WZIP, Akron’s campus radio station. He eventually graduated from The University of Akron with a Bachelor of Arts in Mass Communication.

After school, Joe was offered a role in a student feature film and was re-bitten by the acting bug he thought he had vanquished so long ago. He decided that, from then on, he wanted to pursue an acting career in film, television, theatre, and, most of all, voice-over work.

Joe starred in the IABD Presents production of *A Little Star,* the audio adaptation of the 2017 winner of *It's All Been Written.* He also appeared in the 2018 winner adaptation *The Blindest Date* and 2019 winner *Sun and Moon*.

Joe's *Meet the Cast* podcast episode was the eighth of that series, released as podcast episode 47.

In November 2019, Joe planned to leave town, and by extension the troupe. However, circumstances kept him local and he returned full-time in May 2020, so his absence was retroactively classified as a hiatus. He did guest star once in a pre-recorded part during that timeframe, and in the closing of the May show, he was credited as Special Guest, though he had been re-joined just before the performance.
