John Causby

John has a friendly approachable voice with a wide range of interpretation. It is by no mistake that he can approach the most difficult copy: spokesperson and bring it to life in a believable, uncontrived way. After many years of VO and over 10,000 commercials, John can add a nuance to your voice over that few talent can. Also after being on both sides of the microphone (producer / director and talent) he fully understands the structure and foundation of the media. He has incredible comic timing, a range of character voices, along with a radio and television background that contributes to great promo work.

He is the voice behind a major worldwide luxury hotel brand and of Phyllis Morris Originals/Circa, manufacturers of exclusive designer furniture in Beverly Hills. He has also recorded state congressional campaigns and several corporate business applications.

Promos include trailers for audio books, wrestling, rodeos, and Dirt Track Racing. Narrations include training videos for corporations and the United States military. He is also the voice behind the 20th anniversary celebration video of Latin talk show host, Christina Saralegui.

All of this is facilitated by a recently constructed state of the art home recording studio complete with phone patch and ISDN.
