David Edward Bartley

As a film actor, I have a dynamic presence with a lifetime of stories obtained through global travel & corporate executive experience that are etched into my demeanor. As a mature actor embarking on my film journey; I bring a rare blend of gravitas and vulnerability to the screen. I have a commanding voice and an expressive gaze that have been honed by decades of diverse life experiences from corporate

boardrooms, global travel, and local Chicago Theatre.  I excell at bringing complex characters and situations to life while connecting with audiences on an emotional level. As a collaborator, and creative performer, I love to work with others to create meaningful art.  At the same time, I always remain open to trying new things and taking risks to bring a unique perspective to every project. 

As a skillful and experienced voice actor, I can effectively support a wide variety of corporate, commercial, government and entertainment projects needing that warm, rugged, trustworthy and authoritative feeling quality sound.  I value the meaning of service, which makes me easy to direct and a truly professional team player. My considerable audio production experience and essential understanding of and appreciation for the recording process support my ability for working either onsite or from my private studio.
