Notes

John has been a versatile actor, voice over artist and presenter since the 1990's. He has many film, television and voice over credits. He has an uncanny ability of dramatically changing his voice and character at will. Not surprisingly, character acting roles are a specialty, as are voice overs for radio and television commercials. Documentary narrations and animation character voices are another strength, largely due to his voice training and experience as an educator dramatising stories with students. He's also an experienced public speaker. John is a Civil Celebrant and former assistant school principal and drama teacher. On camera presenting, then, comes naturally. John has done various things and with all his life experience, has a great deal to draw upon in his roles as an actor, voice over artist and presenter. His backgrounds and work history give him 'the edge' as a performer. Like a good wine, he improves with age!
