John Born

I've been singing professionally on and off for fifteen years, and recently began offering my voiceover skills. I have one published audiobook: Great Canadian War Stories, an anthology, published by the Alberta Press. In this work, I was the sole reader, and gave voice to over 40 characters over 18 stories. I have also narrated several public domain texts, and am in negotiations to sell these to audiobook merchandisers. I've been singing all my life. My father was a classical musician and voice teacher, so I gleaned much from him about expanding range and adding texture to my voice. As the singer of a regularly performing jazz trio, I am continually challenged to hone my interpretive skills. I have made my living primarily as a writer, and so my love of words, their sounds and meanings, is innate. I am a quick study and very versatile. I have a home studio built specifically for voiceover work, and can typically produce an hour of finished audio each day, when working on a longer text such as an audiobook.
