What About Bob?
Bob was born in Colorado, built from Rocky Mountain stone, and nursed on crystal clear mountain spring water. Ok, so, he grew up in a suburb of Denver, but immediate access to the great outdoors taught him the importance of play and exploration. Bob's been in voice-over since he could talk, voicing radio commercials, toys, animation, podcasts, elearning, comedy sketches, conferences, and cultural events. Now based in the San Francisco Bay Area, Bob delivers performances that live in the sweet spot between “wise” and “wise-ass.”
After graduating with degrees in Theatre, Japanese Language, and International Studies, Bob lived in Japan for a time, then spent a decade working in healthcare IT. He managed projects and designed training materials to teach physicians and other clinical staff how to tell a patient’s story using medical record software. During that time, Bob wrote, recorded, and edited e-learnings that clinicians praised for their quality and clarity, and for also being “not too boring to listen to.”
Bob trained extensively at Voice One in San Francisco, The Halp Network, Real Voice LA, and the Voice Actors Network. He is ready to work in commercials, animation, and interactive media. Bob is a martial artist - he’s studied Japanese swordsmanship (kenjutsu) in three different disciplines - Tenshin Shoden Katori Shinto Ryu, Shinkendo, and Muso Jikiden Eishin Ryu. He also trained in jujutsu and parkour, so he knows how to run, jump, and fall gracefully (usually). He speaks Japanese conversationally, and once made a pun so powerful an entire izakaya fell into hushed silence. Bob also speaks French (passably), and he can eavesdrop confidently in about nine other languages. He has a musician’s ear for language, so accents (real-world or imagined) come easily.
With a rich, warm delivery, Bob brings puckish enthusiasm, authority, and sense of adventure to any project.
