Chris Scharling Leaves Voice Coaches
Many of our clients have had an opportunity to work with Voice Coaches Lead Engineer Chris Scharling over the past three years. Chris began as an engineering assistant and worked his way up to engineering and producing our projects for clients including Discovery Network, HGTV, The New York State Governors Office, and many others. Chris also provided voice over services to a broad range of clients. Last Friday was Chris’s last day as a full time member of our team. He will remain an audio consultant on a part time basis with both Voice Coaches and our sister company Bourgeois Farmer Productions. We are proud to report that Chris accepted a position with video gaming leader Vicarious Visions. The company, a division of activision, is responsible for creating some of the best selling video games of all time. Because of confidentiality agreements Chris must remain tight lipped about some of his upcoming audio assignments, but we can tell you he is currently working on continued development for the infamous game Guitar Hero.
This is an enormous opportunity for Chris who is a lifelong gaming enthusiast.
He wanted to ensure that I conveyed his wish of success to all those he has worked with.
For Voice Coaches, although Chris’s departure is a great loss, it should act as a reminder to our clients that we are very serious about placing our students with instructors like Chris who have significant industry skill and knowledge.
The only trouble is… many of our folks inevitably are recruited!!
Please leave a comment for Chris. I know he would love to see them!!
Thanks For Everything Chris!
David at Voice Coaches
I’m not sure what I can add to the comments David has already offered, but I can say for sure that Chris will be missed at Voice Coaches. Chris brought an energy and enthusiasm to his job that is hard to find in any industry, and his sense of humor is not one that can be easily replaced.
That being said, I’m still constantly amazed by the wealth of talent on the Voice Coaches team. As this is a new year, we have a lot of exciting new changes in store for the future!
Best of luck to you, Chris, in all your future endeavors, and I’m glad you’ll still be around part-time to keep us on our toes!

How wonderful for Chris! He worked hard to improve himself, even as he provided excellent work for the staff and students at Voice Coaches. And, now, that work has paid off.
I’ll miss his humor and knowledge, and his willingness to step up for assignments and opportunities.
Best wishes, Chris.
Congratulations on your new position Chris. It was great working with you during our time together at Voice Coaches. I was always impressed with your technical knowledge and willingness to help others. Your friendliness and down to earth nature will be missed. I am sure you will go far.
Oh, and let me know if you come up with any more Sopranos trivia!

Hey Voice Coaches
Very sorry to hear Chris has left the family, but also happy about is new gig. He recorded the heck out of my demo and was not shy about it. I often get a kick out of Chris and his willingness to help me jump my car that day, even though he was sort of freaked out by the thunderstorm and my dogs bad disposition. This guy was soaked by the time we were done, but he had a new friend in my dog Rudy.
Krissy in your front office tells me that he even went off and got a pooch of his own. I’ll look for Chris in my travels and hope he does well.

Even though I will miss Chris for his willingness to help with any technical difficulty, and always with a smile… I will miss him more for his cookie gusto. This is a man who is not afraid of ripping off the plastic at 8:30am to enjoy the benefits of breakfast cookie goodness.
By baking skills will miss you!
Chris was so much fun to work with, and a real pro. We’re all going to miss him here at Voice Coaches.
Hey Chris,
Best of luck to you at your new gig. You are a great guy and I hope our paths cross again in the future.
Best regards, Marc
I only had the privilege of working with Chris for a few short weeks, but the experience was an absolute pleasure. His professionalism and great sense of humor will surely be missed. Good luck with the new gig!

Ah, sad was the day when I heard Chris was leaving.
My mouth dropped to the floor and I question what my ears were receiving.
What, Chris departing, it came as such a surprise,
One could see the shock and sadness in my eyes.
So, Chris my studio pal, wherever your new path takes you,
I hope they learn to appreciate you the way all that we all do.
You’ll be missed, there’s no doubt about that,
But if youre like me, within time, youll be back!
