Hi there, my name is Chris Banister! I'm a 26 year old voice actor, based out of Northern California with a background in theater and musical theater.

I can swoop in to portray a variety of character voice types. The grizzled professional who is that all too often fateful one week from retirement...a young student, just trying to make their mark on the world for the first time...the misunderstood fantasy monster, wondering what more they can do to prove their inner goodness...whatever the situation requires!

I've been fortunate to be cast in several indpendent voice acting productions so far!

My prior experience includes stage acting and singing performance (culminating in a BA in Theater).

I have also had the privilege of attending workshops with other great talent through Red Scythe, as well as several voice acting courses with Closing Credits, bolstering my capabilities under industry standards and connecting me with professionals.

In retrospect, my voice acting journey began with what I could hear rather than whatever happened to emanate from my mouth at the time. From an early age, I found great delight in all sorts of entertainment. Music, movies, and, most paramount, video games. all played a role in stoking a passion for artistic expression.

I eventually became involved in theater, getting to see both how the sausage is made backstage and how fulfilling acting for an audience can be.

As my performing journey progressed, I came to find that voice acting was core to my being, and, well, here I am today!
