Who is Kaufherr?
Founded in 2001, The Kaufherr Resource Center originates from the vision of the late, legendary voiceover artist Jerry Kaufherr, narrator of the “Morris the Cat” campaign. After Kaufherr’s death, the Center was launched through the generosity of the Daniel M. Kaufherr Charitable Trust. Fifteen dedicated performers took out their paint brushes and collected donations of furniture and equipment to create the center from scratch. Today, our mission and newly renovated space reflect Kaufherr’s vision: an organization committed to offering resources that support professional performers in reaching their career goals in the entertainment industry.
One of Jerry Kaufherr’s many commercial VO spots.
