Freberg began as a voice actor in a number of old-time radio shows and in animation as well. At the age of 21, he was cast as the voice of Junyer Bear in Chuck Jones’ 1948 Looney Tunes cartoon “What’s Brewin’, Bruin?,” featuring Jones’ version of The Three Bears. He often found himself paired off with Mel Blanc while at Warner Bros., where the two men performed such pairs as the Goofy Gophers, Hubie and Bertie, and Spike the Bulldog and Chester the Terrier. However his first credit was a voice actor in a Looney Tunes cartoon was in “Three Little Bops.” Freberg also worked for Walt Disney Productions as a voice actor for films such as Lady and the Tramp.
In the early 1950’s, he and Daws Butler provided voices and were the puppeteers for Bob Clampett’s puppet series, “Time for Beany,” a triple Emmy winner.
Throughout the 1950s he made a name for himself writing and performing both original songs (“Tele-Vee-Shun”) and parodies of popular tunes (“The Yellow Rose of Texas”, “Day-O”, “Heartbreak Hotel”). With Daws Butler and June Foray he produced a medieval parody of Dragnet called “St. George and the Dragonet”. The latter recording was a hit for four weeks in late 1953.
