DAVID SEVILLE (the long-suffering father)

Dave is the father of the Chipmunks, and also their manager. He began caring for them when he found them sleeping on his porch in a basket, abandoned. When he first started raising them, he was a poor songwriter. It wasn't until after he heard the Chipmunks singing one of his songs, that he was able to sell it and make some money, securing singing careers, as well as their financial future.

History

The voice of Dave was done by Ross Bagdasarian: The creator of the Chipmunks, as well as their voice actor. (He originally voiced all of them).

After Bagdasarian died, a decade later, his son, Ross Bagdasarian Jr., with the help of his wife, Janice Karman, brought the Chipmunks back to life. This time, however, they were drawn slightly different, and introduced some new characters: namely, the Chipettes (Janice Karman's idea). After that, Bagdasarian Jr. and Janice Karman took over most of the voices.
