The Many Voices of Voice Acting with VO Actor & Coach Bob Bergen

Three-time Emmy nominated actor Bob Bergen announced to his parents when he was five he wanted to be Porky Pig. His mother replied, “You can’t be Porky Pig. You’re Jewish.” Despite this, he was determined.

At fourteen he phoned Mel Blanc after researching a dozen or so phone books, crashed a recording session pretending to be Blanc’s assistant, and watched him in action. Realizing he needed training, and for his voice to change, he began studying voice-over with every vo coach LA had to offer. Combined with two years at a Meisner acting conservatory and three years of improv study with The Groundlings, he was able to secure an agent at eighteen and pursue his dream, while tour guiding at Universal Studios allowed him to eat. He’s performed in all aspects of on-camera television: from sitcoms to soaps to game shows – hosting Jep!, the kids’ version of Jeopardy! for Game Show Network.

His voice is heard in thousands of commercials, promos, games, animated series and specials. He’s voiced dozens of animated features, including MinionsSingDespicable Me 3Wreck it Ralph, The Secret Life of Pets, Trolls, TangledTinker BellSpirited AwayCarsA Bug’s LifeMonsters, Inc.Iron GiantThe Emperor’s New Groove, WALL-EToy Story 2 & 3and Up. For 20 years he’s voiced Luke Skywalker in dozens of games as well as three Robot Chicken: Star Wars specials. Recent series work includes Star Wars: The Bad Batch, Ridley Jones, Marvel’s Avengers Assemble, Dallas & Robo, Clarence, Vampirina, Mr. Pickles, TripTank, Animaniancs, OK K.O.. 2021 marks his 31st year voicing Porky Pig.
