About

John is a lifelong stage actor/director turned narrator/voice actor. After an unofficial internship at the SAG Foundation Voice Over lab in New York, John fell in love with audiobooks; They were just another medium to tell interesting stories in dynamic and entertaining ways. As a narrator, John is open to all genres but particularly enjoys comedies, multicast projects, LitRPG, nonfiction, romcoms, and comic book stories. He is a baritone with what reviews have called a “stout voice" and has experience in solo, dual, duet, and multicast narration.
