Chris Fries

2007 "VOICEY AWARD" FINALIST - BEST MALE VOICE - Chris Fries is the one man who can DO IT ALL! Commercials, Narration, Animation, Promos and IVR/Voicemail. Chris' sound has been compared to the SINCERE, APPROACHABLE AND TRUSTWORTHINESS of a JUDGE REINHOLD in his higher range, and a CONFIDENT, ASSERTIVE, BOLD, MASCULINE, and CHARASMATIC sound in his lower range of a young HAL DOUGLAS. The proof is in the pudding, though. Take a look at some of his impressive credits:

HONDA, DREYERS, AMERICAN IDOL, SHREK THE THIRD, SPRINT, THE LA DODGERS & CLIPPERS, SUZUKI MOTORS, SESAME STREET, THE TRANSFORMERS, GENERAL MOTORS and TACO BELL to name a only a few.

DON'T TAKE CHRIS' WORD...HERE'S WHAT HIS CLIENTS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT HIM:

"Chris' performance for our video game project was beyond what I could have ever imagined. He is a true artist and consummate professional."

Drew Cameron - drewsgames

"Chris was extremely easy to work with. He turned the project around very quickly, and added some wonderful creative touches that I didn't even think of. He has an innate ability to interpret the copy and really 'speak to his audience'."

Tim Bartley - Rennaissance, LLC

"I was in a pinch for time with a project, and had a great experience with Chris before, so I called him up, and he worked with me on my copy and delivered a natural, authentic performance for me in virtually no time at all. He makes it look so effortless. I can't recommend him enough!"

Nate Brochin - 12Snap

"I've used Chris Fries for years. He's my 'Go-To Guy'. The most memorable job I used Chris for was a self-hypnosis job that consisted of about 275 sessions within over 1,500 pages. Chris tirelessly worked on the project, voicing and editing/mixing everything, and put together an outstanding finished product. Because of his uncompromising quality, Chris' work has made my company a lot of money, and isn't that the whole idea here?!"

Karl Moore - White Cliff Computing, Ltd.

"What can I say...Chris Fries is the best! Quality, Ability, Attitude, Turn Around Time - He's got the whole package. You can tell he loves what he does, because it's translated through his remarkable and memorable work. He truly has a God-given talent, and is making the most of it.
