About John
Member sinceAug 12, 2009
I* have a deep resonant voice, that delivers with authority, conveys trustworthiness, honesty,a salt of the earth sound, truthfulness, caring, and believable. The "age" sound and range is vast,from a man in his early 30s to middle age or a very old man. My voice has been described as being unique and memorable. I am adaptable character voice actor with a wide range, have performed as Mark Twain, can have a Sam Elliott sounding voice or the accent of a slow talking Texan (which I am) or a "good ole boy" or a sophisticated, highly educated delivery. A native Texan, with genuine Texas and Southern accents,such as a cowboy in the old wild west(think Gus or Call in Lonesome Dove)or a southern gentleman (Deep South),yet can deliver a straight forward radio announcer tag with no accent. My voice coach believes I sound much like the "Wolf Brand Chili" guy. Technical or medical terminology are not a problem. I am highly educated(BA and JD degrees from SMU),professionally voice-trained in voice acting, knowledgeable in legal, medical, and engineering terminology, and precise at narration, especially in instructional videos,educational, historical (i.e. Smithsonian and museums), and audio book narratives, with a smooth, professional, and polished presentation ability. I am a professionally trained singer,classical to rock.
