ABOUT
MANUEL SCHEUERNSTUHL
Hi! I’m Manuel, a video journalist, voice actor, and podcast host with a passion for visual storytelling. Currently pursuing my Master’s in Journalism at Columbia University as a Fulbright Scholar, I hold a degree in Media Economics from Stuttgart Media University and have honed my skills at the S.I. Newhouse School in Syracuse for an exchange semester. I received scholarships from Columbia University, Syracuse University, Fulbright, and the Foundation of German Business. I have had the opportunity to work as a voice actor for more than fifteen years on various major productions, including Oscar-winning films by Martin Scorsese, Game of Thrones, and Netflix originals. I also host Steps mit Manu, a video podcast where I share the personal stories of leaders in politics, journalism, and entrepreneurship. Whether behind the camera or mic, I create content that resonates across platforms, especially in today’s fast-paced digital media world. Let’s tell stories that matter.
VIDEO
Inspired by creators like Johnny Harris and Cleo Abram, my video reports explore the intersection of culture, politics, and society. I aim to make complex topics accessible through engaging visuals and narrative depth. In my recent video on New York’s Chinatown, I highlight how art initiatives, such as the Rice Terrace mural, helped the neighborhood recover post-pandemic, revitalizing tourism and local businesses. My reports go beyond the surface, uncovering the cultural and social forces that shape communities.
PODCAST
I produced and hosted the interview video podcast Steps mit Manu, where I had the privilege of interviewing prominent German figures, including EU Vice President Katarina Barley, entrepreneur Jochen Schweitzer, and renowned journalist MrWissen2go. The podcast, which aired on platforms such as Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube, featured in-depth conversations across 10 episodes, each about an hour long. In addition to production and hosting, I managed social media channels on TikTok and Instagram, engaging audiences and expanding the reach of the podcast.
VOICEOVER
I’ve been a voice actor for over 15 years, working with leading studios and media brands such as Netflix, HBO, Disney, Paramount, and Sony. Some of my most recognized roles include Bran Stark in Game of Thrones, Asa Butterfield in Ender’s Game and Martin Scorsese’s Hugo, which won six Oscars, as well as Ty Simpkins in Insidious: The Red Door. I’ve also voiced characters in Netflix’s Accidente, various Pokémon Trainers, Disney’s Shake It Up, and the anime Mob Psycho 100.
