Voice Description

Chris Bergen has been a working voiceover artist in the New York area for three years. His voice is ideal for a variety of settings, especially high-end markets and products (jewelry, luxury cars, banks, insurance, public service), but is also ideal for edgy, sexy, and more "sarcastic" material. The voice is deep, rich, and resonant, with fluency in French, Italian, German, and Russian.
