Robert Souris

British, Scottish, Irish, Italian and Greek accents seem to come second nature to me. I perform weekly children shows and am required to use many of these voices regularly. Over the years I have managed to imitate accurately nearly all of the family guy, and Simpson cast. Including singing some of the popular songs, just as performed by the professionals. FAMILY GUY: Peter Griffin, Chris Griffin, Brian, Stewie, Quagmire, Joe, Cleveland, neighbors, friends and most of the cast of Cleveland show also. SIMPSONS: Mayor Quimby, Chief Wigum, Mr.Burns, Smithers, Disco Stu, Comic book guy, and many more. Spongebob Squarepants and most of that cast as well: Mr.Krabs, Patrick, Spongebob, Squidword and more. As a stand up comedian my act includes many character impressions of actors such as: Jack Nicholson, Keanu Reeves, Patrick Stewart, Arnold Schwarzenegger, sylvester Stallone, Jimmy Stewart, Jim Carrey, Robert DeNiro, Jeff Goldblum, Christopher Walken, and many more.

starting around 2005 I began doing movie theater previews for independent films. I then got started with commercials for wachovia, Butterfinger, Hundred GRand, and several others. I began shortly after these jobs with Stand up comedy at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino's Improv Comdey Club. I then ventured onto the SeaEscape Cruise line where I opened up for Rip Micheals one of four Bad Boys Of COMEDY. It is during my stand up, where I create scenarios for actors which I believe are hilarious for example: Christopher Walken as The Emperor from Star Wars. It was shortly after this I began writing down several of my bits and recording them for internet videos, which quickly became a success. I have recorded one character song "ELMO they know" a variation of Shorty lo's "LO they Know". Able to express myself musically, I have been featured on several HIP HOP albums singing chorus or creating Character Banter. I began as a child actor/Singer at age 8 when I auditioned for the Mickey Mouse Club, where I made the cut and was then told I was too young. Come back in 2 years when you're ten, they said. Throughout my childhood I learned to imitate most of my favorite cartoon characters. As I got older I realized I had a knack for recalling movie scenes and acting them out as all the different roles. I later got into writing and stand up comedy, where I used my various character voices to deliver punch lines. Most recently I started doing movie theater previews and commercial voice over work. Mackie- 1202- VLZ pro 12 channel mixer. AKG perception 220 microphone with shock mount. Pop filter along with sound insulated booth. Sony sound series is used for editing. I also have access to many other sound studios at my discretion which include even better equipment and pro tools. To date I have directed one feature film and several commercials and videos. I believe that coaching actors has helped me to deliver my roles and voices more adequately. Also being a musician has allowed me to increase my awareness of pitch changes from one character to the next. I also believe that performing stand up has opened me up to delivering under pressure. If the material is no good it is a very intimidating feeling, but to be able to continue under pressure is an invaluable trait. Having worked with a wide range of successful A-List talent has shown me that it is imperative to bring your standard of professionalism to it's highest degree.
