Caleb Clark

I'm Caleb and I'm obsessed with acting.
I started out as a rapper, which lead to me to Shakespeare, which got me into the theatre and I haven't left since.
It's essentially my church, where I go to worship the spoken word and the human experience. As such, I take the craft of acting very seriously, and I see it as an honorable burden.

Currently located in ATL acting, writing, directing, choreographing, rapping, reading, training, teaching, and raising my daughter with my beautiful wife, Rhyn.

Emily Wold

Emily Wold aka Fablehound. After finishing grad school & hustling on the tour/summer theater circuit, I knew I wanted to use my creative skills in a way that better suited the life I wanted to live. I didn’t want to be at the mercy of other folks. I wanted a life marked by elbow room. Travel! Adventure! Freedom!

Enter voiceover work. I weaseled my way into an audition, quickly started booking, & before I knew it I was working as an audio engineer & hustling VO full time.

Fablehound, founded in 2020, is the culmination of all my skill, determination, & outright pluckiness. From its humble beginnings in a Chicago closet, Fablehound has grown into a booming creative enterprise, complete with two fully-equipped studios, countless commercial campaigns, & an ever-growing client base.
