Biography

Sabat was born in Washington, D.C. At the age of five, his family moved to League City, a town in the Houston, Texas metropolitan area. In League City, Sabat studied theater with Gaylynne Wenzel and voice with Connie Goodwin, Milton Pullen, and Sue Cruse. He developed his voice-acting skills through extensive prank-calling and recording answering machine messages for himself and his friends. When he was a freshman in high school, his family moved to Sydney, Australia for two years.

Sabat finished high school in 1992 at Clear Creek High School in League City, and then moved on to study music at the University of North Texas in Denton, pursuing a Voice degree with a focus on opera. After a year, he returned to Houston and studied Radio and Television at Alvin Community College. He worked several radio jobs before being hired as a production director for a station in Galveston, where he learned to cut costs by using his voice-over skills to do everything himself, and this led to other commercial voice work in Houston and Galveston.

Sabat returned to the University of North Texas to study Radio, Television, and Film, working on his degree for three years while picking up voice work in the Dallas area. A friend working at Funimation told him about auditions for Dragon Ball Movie 2, so he auditioned and got the parts of Yamcha and Igor. About two months later, he was asked to assist the Producer and Director in casting for Dragon Ball Z. Around five hundred people were auditioned in an effort to find voice matches for the Ocean Group actors they were replacing, and Sabat ended up voicing several roles himself. When production began, Sabat took on the role of Assistant Voice Director under Barry Watson.
