The Meat:
Masculine, empathetic, "regular-guy," caring, grounded, soothing. John's voice has a unique General American and versatile sound with surprising agility, enabling him to voice everything from little piggies and big bad wolves to treatises on Oligoasthenoteratozoospermia. Extensively trained in both the casual/conversational delivery and the local radio automotive "yell n' sell."
Accents: General American, Neutral English, British RP, Southern US, General Scottish, New York, French, German.
Celebrity Archtype: John Hamm, Billy Bob Thornton or Mike Rowe with the subtle quality of a Keanu Reeves (...without the socal vibe, k?).
John voices: automotive commercials, explainer videos, eLearning, characters, medical narration, audiobooks, corporate narration, poetry, phone messaging, and political spots.
John does NOT voice: TTS/AI/Voice-Clones. There are enough dead people talking.

VERIFIED HUMAN! A personal note from John:
One thing I agree with many millennials and younger folks on: Authenticity trumps all. I do not sell my voice to machine learning companies and I do not have a produced voice model. All auditions are recorded by ME personally in my home studio. I do not authorize anyone to digitally clone my voice for any reason or future manipulation. This ensures that each client I work with is getting a unique product that I have authorized and made bespoke for them. Not only that, but it ensures that a person with a heart and soul is connecting with other people also with a heart and a soul. I believe in the INHERENT value of the human element in the arts, and to me it's irreplaceable. Do yourself the favor of hiring a human and not going the cheap route of a synthetic voice.
