2020 Industry Guests
Jez Roth
After many years of competing at anime convention masquerades, winning Best in Show 17 times with tailored costumes and heavily choreographed
skits, he moved to Las Vegas to work for The Venetian designing the Opera Gowns. Eventually he landed at Cirque du Soleil’s water spectacular O building costumes.
Since leaving Cirque, he has worked freelance out of his own studio – creating everything from mermaids that shoot water, to Mirrorball Men, and Golden Fairies that contort through the air. Jez has designed for events with A-list celebrities such as Kim Kardashian, Eva Langoria, Snoop Dogg, and DJs such as Benny Benassi, and Dash Berlin; his jewelry has even been worn on the red carpet at the Billboard Awards.
He has represented the United States at the IOEA Otaku Expo in Japan as a Cosplay Guest, and also helped choose the Canadian World Cosplay Summit representative for 2016. He believes that the world of costuming is an endlessly fascinating pursuit-from armor to gowns, giant puppetry to monsters. He shares unique events that educate and involve the community (such as Lip Sync For Your Cosplay and PROJECT: Cosplay!) and has restructured and organized cosplay events for conventions in his goal to make the competition scene more streamlined. His artistic journey came full circle in 2015 when he was hired as an Artistic Consultant for the One Piece: Gold film, working with Toei Animation to give their film a fully realized Las Vegas feel. In 2018 he was hired by Right Stuf Anime to create the Official Brand Costumes for animes Aria and Emma.
In Winter 2019 he launched GamerVsTailor, a studio that not only doubled as an online race pitting the Gamer vs the Cosplayer who see who could finish first in a variety of races but as the first SCHOOL OF COSPLAY located in Las Vegas. There teachers instruct Sewing, Make-Up, props, weapons, wig building, and much more.
Jez Roth and GamerVsTailor is thrilled to be appearing at Lvl-Up Expo and can’t wait to meet you all!

Charles Martinet
Beloved the world over for voicing perhaps the most popular and recognized character in video game history, Charles Martinet is an American actor, best known for providing the voice of Mario, the titular character in Nintendo’s flagship video game franchise. Beyond the mustachioed plumber, Martinet also voices Luigi, Wario, Waluigi, Toad, Baby Mario, Baby Luigi and a select few other characters from the same series.
Like all great stories, Charles Martinet’s road to fame had humble beginnings. Martinet was told by his friend that there was going to be an audition at a trade show in which you “talk to people as a plumber”. At first Martinet planned to talk like a stereotypical Italian American with a deep, raspy voice (which is how Mario sounded in the Super Mario Bros. Super Show, Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario World cartoons). He then thought to himself that it would be too harsh for children to hear, so he made it more soft-hearted and friendly, resulting in what Mario’s voice is today.
Martinet began working for Nintendo in 1994 as the voice of Mario in a computer generated version of the character that greeted and interacted with attendees at industry and trade events. This system was called Mario in Real-Time or MIRT and was developed by Pasadena based SimGraphics. Martinet could see the attendees by means of a hidden camera setup and a facial motion capture rig recorded his mouth movements in order to synchronize Martinet’s mouth movement with the on-screen Mario mouth movement. This digital puppetry, with Martinet’s comic performance, was a novelty at the time.
Although most fans were introduced to Martinet’s version of Mario with the 1996 Nintendo 64 game, Super Mario 64, Martinet’s video game voice over debut was as Mario in the 1995 Windows release of Interplay’s game Mario’s FUNdamentals. Since then, he has gone on to voice Mario, Luigi, Wario, Waluigi, Toadsworth, Metal Mario, Shadow Mario, Piantas (Male), Mini-Mario Toys, Baby Mario, Baby Luigi and Baby Wario in most games wherein these characters speak. He also voiced the enemies Wart, Mouser, Tryclyde, and Clawgrip in Super Mario Advance. His voice work appears in the English and Japanese language versions of the games.
Not just limited to roles in Mario games, Martinet has also lent his voice to the boxers and the announcer in the Super NES title Super Punch-Out!!. He voiced the character Vigoro in Sega’s Dreamcast and Nintendo GameCube role-playing video game, Skies of Arcadia. He did the voice of Homunculus in the Konami PlayStation 2, Xbox and Windows game Shadow of Destiny, and provided voices for Reader Rabbit and The ClueFinders games. Charles Martinet wanted to voice Link in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, but Shigeru Miyamoto told him that Link would remain without a voice. However Link’s grunts have been voiced by various Japanese voice actors.
In addition to video game voice overs, Martinet has worked as a voice actor in commercials, cartoons, and promotions. At the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) trade show in 2005, Charles (as an Animal Crossing character) could be found roaming the virtual village featured in the playable demo of Animal Crossing: Wild World. Martinet did Mario’s voice as the announcer for Pac-Man Vs. on the Nintendo GameCube.
Fans can also hear Martinet’s voice in non-Nintendo games such as Damage as the voice of Fowl Mouth, as well as the primary voice work in several educational game series such as LeapFrog. He also voiced the dragon Paarthurnax in the 2011 video game The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, and narrated the cutscenes and menus for the 2013 video game Bit.Trip Presents… Runner2: Future Legend of Rhythm Alien.

Eric Vale
Eric Vale can eat an entire Quarter Pounder with Cheese in a single bite. He crossed the English Channel riding on the antlers of a Canadian Moose. His favorite time of the year is dinnertime. This man has voiced characters such as Trunks in Dragon Ball Z, Sanji in One Piece, Yuki in Fruits Basket, Kymblee in Fullmetal Alchemist, America and Canada in Hetalia, and most recently Nishiki in Tokyo Ghoul. You can also hear him on radio and TV as the voice of the Dallas Stars and Dave & Busters. But wait! That’s not all! He also wrote and produced the feature film Chariot, which is quite possibly the greatest American movie ever made. He’s written screenplays as well as scripted over 50 anime programs and he’s a full-on, for reals published writer. Eric has also directed for film and stage. So he sounds pretty busy, right? Well, tack on the fact that he’s a husband and father of three and you’ll understand why he always looks so tired. He began studying the world of entertainment when he was only 12 years old, and he never looked back. Living a “normal” life with “normal” people isn’t something Eric would know how to do. It’s not something he’d want to do. The best thing he can say about life is that you have your options; you can be safe or you can be crazy. Guess which one he chose?

Dan Mendoza
These 5 ingredients combined together made ZOMBIE TRAMP.
With the 1st 7 books done completely on his own, and guidance from comic editor and friend Jason Martin, the book was eventually picked up by ACTION LAB comics for their Mature readers line DANGER ZONE.
The company stayed alert to Dan’s “cult” following and offered to put together a creative team to tackle making ZOMBIE TRAMP a regular ongoing series.
Dan is now the writer and creative consultant to the series as well as Cover and interior artist from time to time and promises to keep the book going in the direction that his fans have come to love.
Dan Says: “Not only is Janey Belle my baby, but also my therapy and stress reliever. I feel most comfortable when writing her reflections and observations on the flaws of humanity. It makes me feel good when so many fans come up to me or write me to say that Janey Belle is such a relatable character and identify with her on so many levels.”
