About Me
Hi, I’m Derek Strong—but online, I go by Tibbers. I’m a voice actor, published musician, theatrical performer, and content creator who thrives on storytelling in all its forms.Whether I’m voicing a beloved character, writing music inspired by indie games, or hosting conversations with creatives in the industry, my mission is always the same: to move people through meaningful, memorable stories.🎙Voice Acting & PerformanceMy performance roots are in live theater, where I studied Musical Theater at Northern Kentucky University. Since then, I’ve taken on standout roles like Seymour in Little Shop of Horrors and Blotti in Beauty and the Beast before shifting my focus to voiceover.As a voice actor, I’ve brought life to a growing roster of characters in anime, animation, and games—including work in Caressing My Hibernating Bear and Show Time 2. I bring a wide emotional range, strong instincts, and a collaborative spirit to every project I join.🎵 Music with MeaningI’m also a songwriter and music producer with a passion for telling emotional, character-driven stories through sound. My catalog includes original songs and reimagined covers inspired by titles like Poppy Playtime, Indigo Park, and Five Nights at Freddy’s.Each track I release is rooted in narrative, built with intentional sound design, and often used to support animated music videos or promotional content. Whether you’re looking for something atmospheric, cinematic, or high-energy, I bring both technical skill and heartfelt storytelling to the table.📺 Content Creation & Interview SeriesOn YouTube and Twitch, I create content that blends fandom, analysis, and community. My YouTube channel features game-inspired music, lore deep-dives, and an ongoing interview series where I sit down with indie game developers, voice actors, and animators to talk shop and share their journeys with my good friend SirSmirkz.My approach is casual, honest, and always creator-focused—offering fans and aspiring professionals a closer look at the people behind their favorite projects.🤝 Partnered with Mob EntertainmentI’m honored to be The Official Poppy Playtime Poppyfur™ partnered with Mob Entertainment, the studio behind Poppy Playtime and PROJECT: Playtime.
