My Voice Experience

Archduke Ferdinand once said, "You know, perhaps we can avoid the Great War if John Von would speak to the people. And also if I am not assassinated." I agree, and I hope you do, too. If you want a successful commercial campaign, audiobook or industrial, please consider my voice.

Happy clients include voiced and produced spots for AT&T, FedEx, Mountain Dew, Music Choice, Comcast, Chubb Institute, AAA, Volkswagen, Ah-Ha! Media, ABC, NBC, CBS and various regional corporate and small businesses. Additionally, I have performed voice overs and ADR loops for a number of independent films across the country.

My Training

I have extensively studied voice and theatre since I was 12, including the University of the Arts in Philadelphia under Neill Hartley and Suzanne Case. I spent over a decade in major market radio as on-air talent at modern rocker Y100 in Philadelphia and various stations under Clear Channel and Nassau Broadcasting banners.

I hold a BA in Film and audio/video production from Temple University and Theatre Arts at the aforementioned University of the Arts. I am still active in the acting community and am pursuing my Masters at the New School in New York.

Rode NT1-A Mic

Additional Skills

I am very receptive to feedback and constructive criticism. Cold reads are welcome, especially from material that needs editing and interpretation. Voice over work is a passion, and I promise to go beyond the call for any client. I take pride in forging lasting relationships with those that work with me.
