Payton Goodwin

Payton Goodwin - also known by her online nickname Chombi - began her work in voice acting through indie web productions. While her exact debut roles aren't widely documented, she emerged as a voice actor within creative online circles — a trajectory supported by her connection to the series creator Gooseworx, who is her sister. Her first notable recorded contribution was a brief vocal cameo covering Pomni's censored swearing in the pilot of The Amazing Digital Circus, a small but deliberate early role. Payton's breakthrough came when she landed official voice actor roles in The Amazing Digital Circus. She became the voice behind the characters Sun and The Angel, as well as the undead angel-like Creature, raising her visibility in web animation.

Signature Style and Vocal Range

The three characters she voices in The Amazing Digital Circus span clearly different registers: Sun's brightness, The Angel's enigmatic quality, and The Creature's eerie weight each require different vocal placement. The range across the three makes the casting notable — they're not variations on the same voice, but distinct performances.

Her most prominent project remains The Amazing Digital Circus, an Australian independent adult animated web series that blends surreal comedy with psychological drama. In this series, her voice brings to life all three characters–Sun, Angel, and The Creature - whose haunting and surreal presences contribute to the show's distinctive tone.

Working with her sister Gooseworx as creator, writer, and showrunner gave the collaboration a natural shorthand. Goodwin could operate with less direction than a typical first-time cast member — Gooseworx already knew how she hears a character and where her voice sits. The result was performances that fit the series' tonal register from the start.

Challenges of Voice Acting in Web Productions

Working on web-based animation like The Amazing Digital Circus presents real production challenges: tight schedules, evolving character arcs, and high fan expectations. Despite being new to professional acting, Payton took on multiple roles, adapting to varying emotional tones and atmospheres while working within indie production constraints.

While critical coverage rarely singled out individual performers by name, the acclaim directed at the show's voice acting as a whole includes her contributions. The series has been praised for its ensemble voice work, and all three characters she voices have developed followings within the fan community.

Future Projects and Aspirations

Explicit details of upcoming projects aren't yet public. Her work on three distinct characters in The Amazing Digital Circus — each with its own fan following — has established her as a recognizable name within the TADC community. Continued involvement in web animation seems likely, whether within the series or in other indie productions.
