This episode stemmed from a lively dinner discussion at Chiller Theater- a film expo and convention in NJ. Voice actor icon Bob Bergen was in attendance, and was joined by local voice actor Jim Conroy, Bob Joles (visiting from California), and myself.
After a nearly 5 hour discussion on all things voice acting, animation and business- we joked that it should have been recorded for a podcast! So- we reconvened in front of a live (Zoom) audience of aspiring voice actors to chat again and record it.
This is less of an interview about their careers and more of a discussion about the current state of the voice acting industry as it pertains to cartoon work. There are a number of true masterclass moments as Bob B, Bob J and Jim share what they know. It was an entertaining evening loaded with insider details and information.
Bob Bergen has been the voice of Porky Pig for years in addition to his incredibly long IMDB credit list, with credits dating back to 1980.
Bob Joles is currently starring in Big City Greens as Bill Green, and has an impressive IMDB credit list that includes Man Ray on SpongeBob SquarePants, J Jonah Jameson on Spirder-Man, and many more cartoons, video games and more.
Jim Conroy was the main character in PBS' Fetch with Ruff Ruffman, and appeared in many national TV campaigns for AT&T and most notably as the TD Ameritrade Guy. These days you can find his voice on HBO Max' Jellystone and DIsney's Primos.
