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 (Lincoln Academy) as an active member of Midcoast Maine's thriving Arts community. The support he found in his adopted hometown of Damariscotta (a standing-room 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 founded 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. Now a full-time voice actor, Steve has voiced hundreds of TV and radio ads, and worked in nearly every genre the VO world has to offer.

He's been a game show announcer (ABC's Match Game), a global promo voice (The Mandalorian), a Daedric Prince of Destruction (Mehrunes Dagon in Elder Scrolls Online) and even the PSA voice of McGruff the Crime Dog. True Crime fans also know him as the voice of the Unsolved Mysteries Podcast. Steve lives in New York with his wife and son.
