Steve French

A sought-after voice actor, Steve was born in Silver Spring, MD, moving to Maine when he was eleven years old. There he fell in love with Theatre and Music, and spent his high school years as an active member of Midcoast Maine's thriving Arts community. The support he found in his adopted hometown of Damariscotta (a standing-room only audience filled the local community theater for his original one-man show) propelled him to continue his actor training at The Hartt School in West Hartford, CT. Graduating with a BFA in 2003, he moved to New York City and between odd jobs (hotel bellman, bookstore cashier, messenger...) he was lucky to work at some of the nation's best regional theaters (Hartford Stage Co.; Milwaukee Rep; Repertory Theatre of St. Louis..). Off-Broadway, he appeared in The Burnt Part Boys at Playwrights Horizons (you can hear him on the Original Cast Album) and he was a member of the Drama Desk award-winning ensemble of In Transit, an a cappella musical, at Primary Stages. Steve continued his singing career as a member of Broadway Inspirational Voices (BIV), the Tony award-winning gospel choir led by Michael McElroy. With BIV, Steve performed in Randy Newman's Faust at City Center (with the composer himself playing The Devil) and sang backup for Sting on the TONY awards broadcast, among many other performances. Steve's voice over career has allowed him to work in nearly every genre the VO world has to offer, including animation, video games, promos and commercials . TV audiences can hear him announcing the celebrity panelists on ABC's Match Game hosted by Alec Baldwin. Steve's voice can often be heard in some of your favorite movies and TV shows, as an experienced Loop Group ADR actor. Steve lives in New York with his wife and son.
