VOICE ACTOR |

|
John de Forest's voice has been characterized as genuine, authoritative, dryly humorous
with "great timing," the voice of "the uncle you like and trust," and as either folksy or professorial, depending on the need. He is available for commercials, business and educational narration, telephone and internet
recordings, documentaries, and audio books. He can deliver edited dry recordings as mp3 and wav files from his home studio, or he can travel to any other studio in the San Francisco Bay Area. |
