About me
Header art by Xy https://twitter.com/xylavie Howdy there! I am a professional actor with experience in both voice-over as well as musical theatre! My hobbies outside of ttrpgs include video games, and singing. I've completed 3 campaigns (two modules and two 1-20 campaigns), ran 600+ sessions online and in person, and I have 6,000+ hours on Roll20 since 2018. A taste of my voice acting range: https://www.kevincouto.com/ A feel of my tables: https://youtu.be/_zBgfGHD35w My Stream Clone Wars Campaign: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnhAe1iC6P5AaXONG1s_6BQY6QVW2vC2F I started playing tabletops with D&D around late 2017 and fell in love with it. As time has gone on, I've learned my way around more systems and my friends were encouraging me to dive into DMing for them, and here we are now! I currently run a Star Wars 5e stream campaign set during the Clone Wars called "Revenge of the Crit" that's over 80 episodes and counting. My favorite thing about DMing is being able to collaborate and come up with a compelling and fun story with a variety of players. It's also a great outlet for me to practice all these voices and storytelling. I am all about making a campaign experience not only suited for the group but will also leave everyone satisfied. Most of my experience running and playing is with either D&D 5e or Star Wars 5e so either of those systems would be the systems I use for the games I offer. I look forward to sharing memories with you at the table! ❤️

Review for Our Game Master Having played under Kevin from 4 February 2023 to 9 March 2025, I can confidently say this was one of the best D&D 5e campaigns I’ve ever experienced. Taking us from level 1 to level 20 with minimal hiccups is no small feat, and he handled it with skill, creativity, and an unwavering commitment to making the game enjoyable for everyone. One of his strongest qualities as a GM was his openness to compromise. He never treated the rules as a rigid system meant to stifle creativity but as a framework to enhance the story and player experience. If something needed adjusting, he was always willing to listen and find a fair solution. His rulings were consistent, logical, and, most importantly, fair—making every encounter feel balanced and engaging. The campaign itself was a testament to his ability to craft a compelling narrative while giving players the freedom to shape the world. The story was rich, the challenges were rewarding, and character progression felt meaningful. He kept the game running smoothly, ensuring there was always something exciting on the horizon without dragging things down with unnecessary complications. If you’re looking for a GM who values player agency, runs a smooth and engaging long-term campaign, and genuinely cares about everyone at the table having a great time, Kevin is the one. I’d absolutely play in another campaign of his in a heartbeat.

Kevin sets the stage very well and is a great storyteller. The music and his voices truly enriched the experienced. 100% recommend. My session was a little combat heavy, but that did not make it any less enjoyable.

Kevin welcomed me to DND as a rookie and thought me alot within a short time. He's super responsive and friendly. His games run smoothly with both entertainment and combat. He cares about his fellow adventures and if your ever uncomfortable with anything don't hesitate to tell him. He'll have no problem helping you. 10\10 👍👍
