“And they lived happily ever after” begins with “Once upon a time…” and someone to give voice to that story. That’s where I come in.
As a full-time voice actor, I’m a storyteller and, in all modesty, I do it pretty well. I’ve been doing it professionally since… well, since I was twenty years old.
Whether narrating documentaries and corporate presentations or performing commercial voice-overs, my work is a simple, two-step process—find the beating heart of a script and inhabit the words.
There’s not much I haven’t done as a voice actor. I’ve voiced projects in virtually every medium including radio and television commercials, documentaries, corporate identity presentations, training, eLearning, medical narratives, explainer videos, live events, movie trailers, electronic games, cartoon animation, and automated dialogue replacement.
For eighteen years, I was an award-winning copywriter-producer-director in a small but exceptionally talented ad agency… and I still take on the occasional writing, producing, and directing assignment. I’ve also appeared in principal motion picture roles, including the Tom Hanks/Imagine Entertainment/HBO series “From the Earth to the Moon,” which won eighteen Emmy Awards. I co-hosted the groundbreaking HGTV cooking show “All In Good Taste” and acted in professional theatre. In short, when it comes to the creative process, I get it. That also means I know how to take direction.
As a voting member of the World-Voices Organization, I’ve been meticulously vetted as a voice actor who exemplifies the best practices, ethical standards, and professional expertise in the voice recording industry. I hold a regular subscription to SourceConnect for directed voice sessions and, with full video capability in my voice booth, I can also connect to you via Skype and FaceTime.
As for my voice, my principal agent says, “John is a truly believable voice talent capable of extraordinarily flexible delivery styles.” For me, delivering an exceptional voice-over, narrative, or character voice is a commitment, the foundation for mutually beneficial, long-term relationships, the basis for becoming a trusted resource.

I approach your project as my one chance to build loyalty and trust. So, if you have a story to tell—doesn’t everyone?—I’d be grateful for the opportunity to make a case for hiring me as your storyteller.
