Bruce Bonnheim

Voiceover Actor

About

I am an Emmy Award winning voiceover actor with one steady goal: I JUST WANT YOU TO BE HAPPY. Hence, I am what I refer to as: "An Ego-Free Zone." I simply want you to walk away with precisely what you want and need, and to do so quickly. You are the boss, and if you are pleased, that's all I care about. Rather than blather on about myself, here's just one letter of thanks regarding my work. There are many, many more at "brucebonnheim.com." "Dear Bruce, Since we began the new campaign, with your voice, sales have been steadily building and the stock has risen from $- to $-- per share. This is a truly remarkable achievement for any business, let alone a 120-‐year-‐old retail company. I know the retail business is not easy on production and creative folks such as you. The enormous volume of spots, last minute changes, tight deadlines and limited budgets make for a challenge at best. But you have always been there with a professional and positive attitude to get things done on time and on budget. We have also highly valued your production skills. Offering us your capability of providing turnkey services gives us a distinct advantage in pricing and logistics. Lastly, I really appreciate the good, old-‐fashioned commitment to doing things the right way. You have been a reliable, honest, business partner with the fundamentals of character that make building a long-‐term relationship easy and comfortable. Thanks again, Bruce, for everything." -Jerry Wessels, CEO, Wessels & Associates

Voiceover Actor

Kim Dawson Talent Agency

With luck and hard work, I have been in the Top Ten of all Kim Dawson Agency voice performers a number of different times. In these many years of working together, I’ve had the pleasure of being the national voice for Harrah's, Incredible Universe, and Conn's, performed as a national Subaru announcer for 7 years, and performed countless other spots for Coke, Pepsi, American Airlines, McDonald's, Tecate, Pace Picante, Wet 'n Wild, Dave & Buster's and others. I’ve cut videos for the likes of Bell Helicopter, Hughes Training, American Heart Association, GM Financial, Jack Daniels, Frito Lay, JC Penney, Mitsubishi Estates, Bisso Marine and to be honest, many more than I can possibly recall. I even hosted a live Half-Time dance contest on the field of AT&T Stadium, home of the Dallas Cowboys. That was in front of 98 THOUSAND people! The Kim Dawson agency and I share a terrific working relationship to this day.
