Craig Burnatowski —
Voice, Acting, Music.

A site for a multi-format performer with a load-bearing role: Albert Wesker in Resident Evil 4 Remake, returning as Zeno in Resident Evil: Requiem. Built so the marquee role does the work of a trust signal on first sight, and the breadth (six albums, a Guinness Record, twenty years of credits) pays it off below the fold.

Lead with the hook

The first frame of the site names the role that carries the trust: Albert Wesker, in red, beside the portrait. Voice artist · actor · musician sits above the name as a quieter promise: once the hook lands, the breadth reads as range.

Beyond the hero

A walk down the page, each section earning its place once the hook has done its job up top.

Marquee roles section of craigburnatowski.com

Marquee roles

The hook, named twice.

Sunglasses, voice, presence. Craig brought Albert Wesker to life in Capcom's Resident Evil 4 Remake and its Separate Ways DLC, and returns to the franchise as Zeno in Resident Evil: Requiem. Naming both (and showing the stills) keeps the hook load-bearing instead of a one-line tagline.

Voice demos

Five reels, named by range.

Video games, animation, commercial, singing, audiobook. Each reel labelled by genre and mood (villains and military for games, baritone-to-mid-tenor for singing) so a casting director or music supervisor lands on the right read in one click.

The story section of craigburnatowski.com

The story

Twenty years, six albums, one Guinness.

Born in Quebec, raised in Oakville, forged in Toronto's theatre scene. First album at 17. Motion-capture work for Capcom on the original Resident Evil: Outbreak in 2003. A Guinness World Record set on a stage in Stouffville. The bio reads the breadth as a single arc, not a coincidence.

Music section of craigburnatowski.com

Music

Not just a voice.

Six records deep across five bands, with a streamable catalogue and a 90s alt-rock cover band still playing live around Ontario. The music page closes the loop on the voice-artist hook: the same instrument, fronting a band.

Build notes

  1. 01

    Lead with the hook.

    The first thing on the page is the role that carries the trust: Wesker, named, in red, beside the portrait. Everything else on the page gets to be range once the hook lands. The site refuses to bury the load-bearing fact.

  2. 02

    The breadth pays it off.

    Voice artist · actor · musician sits above the name as a quieter promise. Once Wesker has done his work, the breadth reads as range, not as a portfolio that doesn't know what it is.

  3. 03

    Three doors, one hero.

    The site stays a single page until the visitor picks a path: Acting, Voice & Mo-Cap, or Music. The hero refuses to choose for them; an Explore strip near the bottom lets them choose for themselves.

  4. 04

    The principle generalizes.

    When a client has a recognizable role, lead with it. When the breadth itself is the story, lead with the breadth. When the medium is the story, lead with the medium. The shape of the site follows the strongest signal, not a template.

Want one of these?

A single page that names your hook first and lets the rest of the work pay it off. Talk to Anton on the homepage or write me directly.
