My ds just did an animated voice over for a character that will appear in a television program.

What category do you list this in ?
And what sort of info do I list on his resume?

Title of Show
Character Name
Production Company

Anything else?

Simply start a new column for (would you believe?) "Voice Overs."

Character names are not necessary when listing voice-over credits.

Maybe if you have a lot of them. For one, I wouldn't start a new heading.

Just put it under your tv credits, i.e.

Ben 10 (voice) - Guest star - Nickelodeon / Name of Director

thanks ... i guess it seems obvious. i'm too new to this to presume so thanks for the info.

i am wondering ... what if the character is a "lead" (so to speak) on the show.

for example ... if my ds were voicing one of the main wonder pets characters wouldn't you say so?

that's not the case here ... but a similar situation.

What to put in a resume has always been a subject of continual debate.

But in my experience, outside of the accepted formats pretty much used by everyone, much of what actors put in their resumes is a matter of personal choice. So my advice has always been, when in doubt-- go ahead and list it.

What could it hurt?

We always specify the character. It's something CDs / agents might be interested to know. It could, for example, tip them about your abilities and experience. Why not, especially if it's unusual and / or interesting part.
