Corey Marshall is an actor/ voiceover professional who is best known for his work in SEGA's Shenmue series.
Born in Galveston, TX, he began training in tae kwon do at 7 years old and became an ATA World Champion in his early teens. He took up ballet while in his teens and attended Robert E. Lee High School's North East School of the Arts in San Antonio. He was offered a scholarship in dance by the Juilliard School, but opted to pursue his Fine Arts degree in Dance at SUNY-Purchase in upstate New York.
It was while at SUNY-Purchase that he auditioned for the role of Ryo Hazuki in the English-language version of the popular SEGA game Shenmue. Within a matter of weeks of auditioning, he was on a flight to Japan to record Shenmue.
Corey didn't have the chance to finish his college degree, as various projects started coming his way.
