Hi, I’m Chris Harvey – warm, dry, and perpetually amused by the chaos of life. I am the host of Sarcastic Distractions, the podcast where I get to lean into my natural sarcasm and provide fun and unique takes on what's happening in the world. I’ve got a conversational baritone that can swing from “trustworthy best friend” to “that guy at the party who just nailed the punchline” in half a second flat, and I spend my weeks interviewing everyone from scientists to stand-ups while somehow making it feel like we’re all just hanging out on the same couch. Voice-wise, think laid-back millennial with a smirk you can hear – equal parts NPR weekend host, witty narrator who knows exactly when to undersell the joke, and the friend who’ll read your voicemail out loud in the perfect character voice just to watch you laugh. I love commercial work that needs genuine warmth with a twist of clever, animation where the character has opinions, and anything that lets me play in that sweet spot between sincere and sarcastic. If your script needs someone who sounds like he’s smiling while delivering the line, let’s talk – I’m already halfway through my second coffee and ready to make your project ridiculously fun.
