AWARDS and REVIEWS:

Mark Parton – “Parton Words” blog

Unique traits: An interesting blend of youthful energy and mature life experience. Johns vocal talents have been used in a number of corporate settings including MC roles at product launches and live demos to which his background as a sales trainer and consultant have added benefit. Quick witted and with a wide ranging sense of humour, he thinks well on his feet as well as delivering well scripted presentations. His vocal qualities and eloquent style have been used in voice-over work, commercials, acting, interview and talk-back work and theatre singing. With an active fitness lifestyle (former twice National Aerobics Champion), a background in Martial Arts and an interest and pursuit of outdoor recreation (abseiling and canyoning), John is equally prepared to take on physical roles as well as those demanding more emotive performance. Easy to work with, professional, charismatic and fun-loving, he will commit 100% to any assignment large or small.
