Bob Bergen moved to Los Angeles from Cincinnati when he was 14. Actually, he had no choice. His Dad took a job in Los Angeles and relocated the family there. But Los Angeles is where he wanted to be. As a kid, Bob spent endless hours taping cartoons, imitating voices as well as creating characters of his own. His dream was to voice The Looney Tunes, and in particular Porky Pig. Bob's idol was Mel Blanc, and he worked day and night trying to perfect eh-puh-peh-eh Porky's voice. To his parents dismay, he spent more time working on voices then he did at his school work, but I think they've forgiven him by now.

Not long after arriving in LA, Bob started investigating how to get into the world of doing voices for cartoons. He spent hours going through the yellow pages, calling every animation studio in town getting information on how to get into the voice-over field. Hanna Barbara referred him to Bob Lloyd, who at the time had the only voice casting office in Los Angeles called The Voicecaster. Lloyd referred him to Daws Butler, a legend in the world of animation and well known as the voice behind Yogi Bear, Huckleberry Hound, Elroy Jetson, and Snagglepuss, just to name a few. Daws had a weekly voice over workshop, and invited Bob to join the class. Bob also studied voice-over with anyone and everyone in LA who offered a workshop, including Louise Chamis, Michael Bell, Brian Cummings, and Dave Madden. For the next several years Bob was never out of a class, studying voice-over, as well as improv and acting. He even got the chance to watch his idol, Mel Blanc, record a project for Warner Bros.

When he was 18, a good friend of the family had Casey Kasem send Bob an autograph picture for his high school graduation. Bob sent Casey a thank you note, stating he wanted to do voices for cartoons and included his phone number. To his shock Casey phoned Bob and offered his assistance. Casey requested Bob make a home made demo of as many voices as he could. Bob sent Casey a tape of 85 voices which Casey, in turn, gave to Don Pitts, a voice-over agent and one of the nicest guys in the biz. Don took Bob on as a client, and at 18 he was set up with his first agent. Not long after, Bob booked his first cartoon, Spiderman, and His Amazing Friends. He continued studying with Daws Butler, and for the next 5 years slowly started building up his voice-over resume with a variety of cartoons and commercials. To make ends meet, he worked as a tour guide at Universal Studios.

At the age of 23 Bob was able to leave Universal and work full time as an actor. His resume consists of 100s of cartoons, commercials, and CD ROM games, as well as on-camera stints on such shows as The Facts of Life, Days of our Lives, and Gimme a Break. In 1990, Bob's dream came true when he joined a handful of actors who share the job of voicing the Looney Tunes. Over the years, Bob has voiced Porky, Tweety, Marvin the Martian, Henry Hawk, Sylvester Jr., and Speedy Gonzales in a variety of projects. In 1991 Bob was asked to play Sylvester Jr., for a radio program called Mrs. Bush's Story Time, hosted by First Lady Barbara Bush. Soon after he was thrilled to be invited to a reception at the White House in appreciation for his participation in Mrs. Bush's literacy program.

In 1997 he added game show host to his resume after landing the job of hosting Jep!, the kid's version of the classic game show Jeopardy!. For ten years Bob worked as the grandstand host at the annual Hollywood Christmas Parade. His job consisted of spending two hours prior to the parade warming up an audience of literally hundreds lined up and down Sunset Boulevard, entertaining, schmoozing and getting them in the Christmas spirit. Throughout the parade he had the privilege of interviewing some of Tinseltown's biggest stars as they traveled down the streets of Hollywood in floats and vintage cars. The Grand Marshall in Bob's first parade was James Stewart and Bob was honored to have the opportunity to meet and interview this legendary actor. Over the years Bob got the chance to interview some of Hollywood's biggest stars including Halle Berry, Sammy Davis Jr., Ed McMahann, Steve Allen and Mickey Rooney to name a few.

In 1999 Bob taught his animation voice-over workshop at Judy Carter's California Comedy Conference in Palm Springs. This is a whirlwind weekend consisting of up and coming comics showcasing to various show biz movers and shakers. Through connections he made at this conference, Bob put together a one man show. After a one time "trial" performance in Burbank, he was asked by Ken Kragen, who managed Kenny Rogers, to be the opening act for Rogers' 1999 summer tour throughout California and Oregon. Bob returned from the tour and showcased his one man show at the Ice House in Pasadena and The Whitefire Theater in Sherman Oaks. Producer Ed Gaynes offered to put the show up commercially at the Whitmore-Lindley Theater in NOHO. Bob Bergen, Not Just Another Pretty Voice opened to great reviews and ran for 3 months. In 2007 Bob starts his 20th year teaching his animation voice-over workshop.
