About

I’m John Hopkinson, an audiobook narrator with 95 titles recorded from my home studio in Utah. Most of my work has been in non-fiction, history, memoir, and educational content, where my rich, trustworthy, slightly fatherly voice feels right at home, though I also enjoy narrating suspense and thriller fiction. Before narration, I taught American History, designed award-winning kitchens and baths, owned a sign company, and lived in Alaska for over 20 years—experiences that bring authenticity and depth to every read. My focus is always honest, engaging storytelling.
