“John Matthew has been in the business for nearly 20 years –
he knows what he's talking about.”

I provide private instruction in commercial voiceover for beginning- and intermediate-level students.
For Beginners
If you’re a newcomer, I’ve developed a six-session program to give you a simple, reliable technique for reading commercial copy. Starting with basic mechanics and building to fully-nuanced performances, you’ll acquire a solid conceptual framework that will allow you to approach any commercial
script with clarity and confidence. This is what I wish someone had taught
me when I started out!
In addition to the conceptual instruction, you’ll get plenty of mic time in session, as well as tips and insights from my nearly 20 years in the business.
“I loved working with John! He doesn't just tell you how to do the material but is patient and lets you take the time to discover and figure things out for yourself. I always found our sessions together fun and productive.”
– Nadeya Ward, Actress
For Intermediate Students
If you already have some training and experience, regular, realistic practice
is the key to sharpening your skills and moving toward a professional skill level
as quickly as possible. To that end, I offer blocks of three 1+ hour workout
sessions. You’ll read copy on-mic and be directed just as you would be at a
real recording session. In addition, this is a great opportunity to fine-tune
your technique for maximum results.
