Chris Burriss Bio

Voice acting has been Chris Burriss’ dream job ever since he can remember.

It started when he realized he could do impressions of cartoon characters for his friends to make them laugh. They especially liked it when Chris would use his “announcer voice” for play-by-play of their Mario Cart races. He was also involved in local theater for much of his youth.

Chris graduated from the University of California Irvine as a drama major. However, he took a round-about path to his voiceover career—which turned out to be a good thing—working in the Materials Department of Simi Valley Hospital. His daily dealings with sales reps and customer service agents allowed Chris to develop strong communication skills and the confidence to step into voiceover work once and for all.

After auditioning, Chris was accepted into the popular training program Such A Voice, where he began to hone his sills including character accents and expressions, improvisation, voice emotion, and more. He continues with individual voice coaching to become one of the best in the voiceover business.

Personally

When not working or studying voice acting, Chris takes time to stay healthy with kickboxing and circuit training. Fun means going bowling or to the movies. Chris loves large-breed dogs and is a 90’s cartoon buff. His dream is to voice act in a Disney Pixar animated film.

Chris currently resides in Simi Valley, CA.
