Trailers
Gaming, Movie, Animation

A trailer is a brief advertisement that gives viewers a sneak peek at a movie, game or animation. A powerful, confident "trailer voice" can grab attention and generate excitement for these upcoming features, to hopefully persuade viewers to see them when they are released.

"These are my own interpretations of the previously released films. Scripts and Bkg music selections are my choices."

My Process

Discovery

Contact me through either my email or the contact form on this website to discuss your project. Or, if you prefer, email me and we can set up a free ZOOM session to discuss your needs.

I will follow up by sending you a proposal (within 24 hours) with an outline of scope and pricing to get started.

NOTE: I do require a full script of my lines, as well as how my voice will be used and for what duration before I can provide an initial quote. You can attach to your initial contact email.

and..ACTION!

With all the paperwork out of the way it's time for the fun part!

I will record, edit & master my lines, followed by sending you a sample for your feedback.

NOTE: Revisions after 100 words are subject to a revisions rate.

Refinement

Once approval or feedback is received on the sample(s) I sent, I will make any adjustments necessary as per your feedback.

My goal is that you are 110% happy with the results!

Completion

You will be able to listen to your final files (through SoundCloud.com) before I send them.
I'll provide a direct link to them at no cost to you! They will not be downloadable at this point.

After your final approval and payment in full via Paypal, I will send you your file(s) in your preferred format (.wav, .mp3, .aif) or, you will then be able to download them for yourself.

I'm not the only one doing the talking...

John is an amazing and talented voice actor, with a good range of voices, including taking on the incredibly important role of Dr. Light for our Megaman projects on Hyper Frost, to even playing a wise old wizard and the voice of a scientist.  Easy to work with, fun to talk to, and very understanding of the kind of work we do!

Chris Carson
CEO, Hyper Frost Productions

"John read a poem for me in a deep, gravel voice that will make your hair stand on end!! His delivery was super quick and when I asked for a revision it was even quicker!! 5/5 I would recommend!!! :)"

Emil Cole
Germany

"John is quick to respond and pleasant to talk to. He really does a great job. Thanks John!"

Sam Walter
United States

"Easily one the the best people I've had the opportunity to work with through Fiverr or any other setting. John was communicative, accommodating, and talked through things with me. And don't get me started on the end product. A combination of vocal talent, linguistic knowledge and willingness to take criticism make not just a pleasant work experience, but a fantastic project outcome, which is exactly why I'm so optimistic about my project after working with him. I had a great time working with John and genuinely hope to work with them again sometime soon."

Matthew Mayer
United States

"John hit the mark. I've worked with a lot of voiceover talent over the years and he hit the mark, first time out!"

Casting Director
