Life

Beretta began to have musical experiences in early childhood. He was particularly interested in music theory and piano playing. In Montbéliard he took acting lessons; from 1964 to 1966 he studied at the Petit Conservatoire de la Chanson . With Richard de Bordeaux , whom he met there, he formed a duo and gave numerous concerts on stages and occasionally in television shows. In 1966 he wrote the play Copain clopants , in which he also played the leading role for a year. Two years later, Marcel Camus hired him for his film Un été sauvage .

Several appearances in other films, but primarily in musicals , formed the focus of Beretta's work in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Then he devoted himself more to music. As an interpreter, he recorded pieces composed for him by Paul McCartney (with Ennio Morricone, among others ). As a writer he wrote for Nino Ferrer , Jean-Noel Dupré , Mireille Mathieu and several other artists. He also composed extensively for the stage. In 1988 he finally received the Palme d'Or for best film music at the Festival d'Antibes .

Beretta gave guest appearances as an actor in Germany and Belgium; as a dubbing actor he was Arnold Schwarzenegger's French voice since 1987 and dubbed numerous other films. He did program announcements for the French science fiction channel, dubbed video games and was the voice of RFM radio from 2000 to 2008.
