Ryan is one of the most professional voice artists I have worked with, comparable to some of the best I've worked with at Cartoon Network, as his intuition and experience lets him pull from popular material to refine his performance into one that can fit any character. His talent gives the performance a range of options to work with. His refined instincts, his broad range, and his nuanced delivery makes directing his performance incredibly rewarding. The hard work he puts in shows in the final product, and he's easily top of my list for any new role. -Richard Mansfield, Blackfield Entertainment

Ryan is an incredible character actor. Rarely have I seen such range and creativity from anyone I've worked with, making him a wonderful asset to any project. I look forward to working with him more in the future. [...] You're a swiss army knife, ha ha ha! You did great work. -Matt White, Old Moon

Ryan Cooper is equal parts gracious and talented, a rare gift in a collaborator. The first time we heard his voice, we knew immediately that we wanted to work with him. That instinct has proven correct over and over. Nearly a decade of collaboration and two full audiobooks later, Ryan continues to surprise and impress us. His vocal range and nuance, the hard work he puts in to ground his performances are extraordinary. He's the first man we call for any project. -Jack and Hugh Monahan, Stellar Jockeys Stellar Jockeys
With Ryan, all of the professionalism, skill and creativity are intertwined like a finely-laced orchestral piece. You will never wonder what the character would do in a situation because the vocal pieces themselves inspire the story. On-time delivery, 100% clean and amazing audio, all in a beautifully crafted professional shell. Ryan has been a joy to work with; I would hire him to narrate my daily life if not to only hear what Ryan would come up with next. It was an honor to work with you and I hope to again in the near future. -Adam Lehenbauer, Forteller Games

With Ryan, I put out a call on Twitter and he responded. It was before STASIS launched on Kickstarter and I wanted a voice for the alpha demo. He hit the nail on the head with the character. I wrote the lines, but he gave them heart and soul. Ryan is such an amazing artist to work with that I find it hard to imagine a project that he wouldn’t be involved with in some fashion. -Christopher Bischoff, The Brotherhood

Cooper has an incredible talent and is malleable to any need. His work on The Old City: Leviathan surprised us all with just how well he understands what is needed while also elevating the work with his own creative license. If we needed him to act with guidelines, he nailed it. If we needed him to act with little to no guidelines, he nailed it. He's willing to redo his work to get the perfect take, though he rarely needed to. He's a fantastic actor and we look forward to working with him again in the future. -Blaine Bowen, Postmod Softworks Postmod Softworks
"I really, genuinely hope that Bethesda Studios works with Ryan Cooper one day." -Mackenzie Rowles (aka Camelworks). "I really love Ryan's take on Sledrig. When we went from robo voice to a voiced character, it was like, "Yep, that's him - that's exactly how I imagined him in my head." He nailed it." -Kinggath. "Thanks Ryan! Your voice took it to the next level!" -Haenir Studio.
"Man, I LOVED your character! The performance was absolutely perfect. I was always keen to find him within the world, to hear more of his story and dialogue" -Tommy Holloway, editor at PSU.com. "This amazing dude is the one you hear crying in the first sequence of the game and narrating all those tapes! ♥ Such an amazing voice actor!" -Alexis Di Stefano, Bloodious Games.
