Carlos Marttelo

Carlos Marttelo is a Mexican puppeteer and voice actor best-known for his work on Plaza Sesamo, the Mexican co-production of Sesame Street. During the 2005 and 2010 seasons, he played various minor characters consisting of Anything Muppets and AM Monsters, as well as dubbing occasional inserts. Since 2011, Carlos performed the role of Elmo on the series in the "plaza" segments and the dubbing on both the series and web videos. Marttelo should be proud to perform and dub an international version of the little red monster just like every Elmo performer around the world. Other puppeteers he got to work with on the show include Verenice Callejo, Alfonso Soto, Maripaz Garcia, and Igor Cruz, to name a few. Outside of Plaza Sesamo, he provided additional voices in Spanish dubs of Lost, Legally Blondes, Hannah Montana: The Movie, and A Beautiful Mind. As for cartoon dubs, Carlos Marttelo mostly did Disney projects such as Prep & Landing, Tinker Bell & the Lost Treasure, and The Little Mermaid: Ariel's Beginning. It's great that he has mastered both puppetry and voice acting for Spanish language productions whether it's original or dubbed. But Plaza Sesamo is his best production yet, for he's worked on that series for years going from assistant/minor puppeteer to one of the lead puppeteers. I'm sure Carlos is still doing Elmo on that show today as there are still episodes and web videos that feature his voice dubbed. I wonder if Marttelo ever puppeteered on other projects besides Plaza Sesamo, because it would be great if he did. In the meantime, he should continue working for both television and film seen in Mexico and the world. Doesn't matter whether it's original or dubbed. Carlos Marttelo, you're magnifico on Plaza Sesamo going from an additional performer to an Elmo. Keep up the wonderful performance and giving your voice a chance to dub lots of films. And always remember to have fun while you puppeteer and voice act in your career. Nice Carlos. Muy bien Marttelo!

Brock Winkless was a puppeteer and visual effects technician, best known for being the puppeteer of Chucky in the Child's Play franchise and the Crypt Keeper on Tales from the Crypt. A magazine stated that he understood lip-syncing of a puppet's mouth movements which gave him the skill to puppeteer his characters to vocal tracks. Brock frequently worked with director and make-up artist Kevin Yagher on many projects, such as the Child's Play series, the Crypt Keeper, and the film Honey, I Blew Up the Kid. Winkless also collaborated with other studios for make-up and visual effects throughout his career, including Animated FX Inc., owned by Norman Tempia. Other films he puppeteered in over the years have included Death Becomes Her, Man's Best Friend, Congo, The X-Files, and Dr. Dolittle 2.
