- HERE'S A LITTLE ABOUT ME AND MY VOICE OVER EXPERIENCE
- JOHN MATTHEW had his first voiceover job at age 6, but it would be some years before he returned to the recording booth. In the interim, he played a little piano, a lot of drums, and even some guitar. He also tried his hand at volleyball, rollerblading and mountain climbing, and even got a Geography degree from UCLA. Naturally he was exhausted after all this, and decided to return to the profession that required the least running.
Now a veteran with over 15 years in the business, John has lent his voice to hundreds of projects in all types of media, from radio to the Internet. He has narrated over 45 episodes of the Food Network Challenge, as well as The Young Scientists Challenge for the Science Channel, The History of The Beach for the History Channel, and several special features in the Star Wars Trilogy DVD boxed set. John was the announcer on three infomercials: Sleek Essentials, Core Rhythms and Carnie Wilson’s Lite And Hope, and can be heard as multiple characters in The Adventures of Andy Applebutter, an animated educational DVD for children. Most recently, John was the show announcer for Big Saturday Night on the Game Show Network and voiced spots for Hyundai, Valvoline, and Dashers Insurance – as well as web content for Cisco, Alibaba.com and the Texas Dept. of Health & Human Resources.
In addition to voicing and coaching, John continues to redefine rock drumming, upgrade his home studio and crack wise at social gatherings. A self-described “Local Personality”, John now enjoys enough political clout within the industry to write his own bios.

This is real:
"We are looking for someone who can read large amounts of boring information and not make the person listening go insane."

The Hurried VO Guy Pays Twice
A cautionary tale: I was in the process of looking for a booth for my home studio, when a request for a bid on a big audiobook gig came in. So I did the read and submitted a quote. Now, for some reason I got it in my head that I was gonna book this one for sure - why, I have no idea. But because of that odd impulse I ended up buying a 4x6 Whisper Room booth quickly from an engineer I know in San Diego, without checking one out in person or really thinking it through.
So the booth arrives, we se… Continue
