Bruce Carey

has always pushed the behavioral envelope. A performer from a very early age, he enjoyed doing impressions, dialects, writing and playing the class clown. At 13, Bruce traded in his oversized shoes for a leather jacket in the Central Ohio Children's Television Workshop.

It was a recurring role on a syndicated show called "The Judge" produced by WBNS-TV, the local CBS affiliate, as a juvenile delinquent gang member. Finding acting a constructive creative outlet, he also performed in several children's theater productions.

Later, an opportunity arose to join a local radio station. This began a radio career writing and performing characters, mostly on morning shows, for such illustrious and irreverent institutions as WLUP/Chicago, KCBQ/San Diego, KZEW/Dallas and five years with ABC Radio Networks.

Along the way were stints at several universities, including four years in the San Francisco Bay area earning an associate music degree. Playing small coffee houses and ushering at the S.F. War Memorial Opera House gave Bruce a chance to sing and wear a tuxedo - but not at the same time.

His career has included commercial and industrial voiceover for accounts like Wal Mart, Pizza Hut, Miller Beer, Frito-Lay, U.S. Navy, McDonalds, Greyhound, Haggar Slacks, Lincoln-Mercury, Pier One Imports, Universal Studios Florida, and as the male voice for America Online, network and cable.

Acting in industrial films and a couple of "B" science fiction movies, Bruce walked the thin line between fantasy and reality. All the while, writing and honing those characters which would one day get him noticed or put on stronger medication.

He's done improvisational acting training with Randy Bennett, founding member of the seminal L.A. improv group The Groundlings. And while studying with premier voice coaches Marice Tobias and Dick Orkin of The Radio Ranch, he met actress/writer Molly Moroney.

Bruce now lives in Dallas, Texas doing voiceover, producing and directing voice talent, writing and performing with his partner, Molly, in Glass Ceiling Productions. Glass Ceiling offers custom creative services and advertising concepts, specializing in a very "real person" conversational, contemporary approach.
