Credentials

Education

With more than 35 years experience performing professional voice talent, John began his career as a radio announcer in high school. He attended school in England for two years where his adaptation of various English accents resulted in frequently being asked what part of England he was from.

John studied public speaking and drama in high school and continued to study drama in college. After four years in the Navy, he traveled through Europe, eventually living in Paris, where he performed English-language voice talent and ADR (automated dialog replacement) for the French automaker Renault. After returning to the U.S., John worked in radio and television as a voice and on-camera talent for ten years. Later, as a film actor, corporate spokesman and television host, he studied voice and on-camera performance techniques with several nationally recognized coaches and at KVG Studios in Florida. From time to time, John still works one-on-one with vocal coaches and casting directors to maintain his skills.

I am within driving distance of several full-service audio production facilities in Atlanta and Birmingham.

I do not typically provide music drops, sound effects or mixing, but will be happy to recommend reputable engineers who specialize in audio post production.
