This is what I do at work. As a voice actor my time is spent in a studio booth recording commercials, promos, narration, and lots of voices for animated characters and video games. Plus MANY auditions.

I just wanna say thank you for this video and being so damn real about voice acting. I knew the moment you said you spend most of your day looking for jobs to voice you were the real deal. You inspire me greatly man. Voice acting doesn't sound like just a impossible dream anymore

John, I watched your studio set up video and wanted to thank you for that and then watched this one. You have a GREAT voice and ability to deliver fun and engaging characters- you deserve and I hope you get a big brand national campaign for tv ads- like the Gecko or something of that magnitude- try approaching the major NY or LA agencies you are good enough- you can trust an advertising icon ;))

That jester voice sounded like Shaco from League of legends but it also sounded like a wood elf from Oblivion! That was awesome nonetheless

You literally blew me away.

This seems really cool! I've wanted to be a voice actor for a while now, but I don't live in Las Angeles, where most studios are for video game companies, so I wasn't sure if I could be a voice actor. I never actually knew you could just send them your recordings from home, cool!

Omg, you play my little brother’s favorite character from the Transformers show! Chase, I think his name was? He totally loves you, man.

John, Good job buddy. You are very talented. Thanks for clarifying the difference between voice "Announcing" & "Acting!!" I went to Little Rock to make a demo, and the 73 year old owner didn't know the friggin difference... That's what I get for living in Arkansas...good pipes buddy.
