Hi, my name is John Cormier, and I really appreciate the opportunity to work with you on your project. As a real life Project Manager, I understand the importance of getting the job done on time and on budget. Let's work together to make your project a success.
I started out doing projects for LibriVox. LibriVox volunteers record chapters of books in the public domain, and then release the audio files back onto the net for free. All LibriVox audio is in the public domain, so you may use it for whatever purpose you wish.
After getting my feet wet, and realizing I need a major improvement in gear and skill. I set out on a quest. I read everything, watched a million videos, and more or less became consumed!
I then discovered ACX, and set up an account! After only a few auditions, I was awarded a PokemonGo Guide! It wasn't a very big book, but experience is what I need, so I was very excited to get it!
Go to my book's page on Audible.com:
2 in 1 Bundle: Pokemon Go Guide + Pokemon Go Battery Saving
Check it out, there really is a lot of great information! And, while you are there, buy it!
I really do appreciate the support!
What I did realize at this point was that I really needed a quieter place to record, you have no idea what a number of noise interruptions there are until you hit that record button! So, I built a make-shift, I mean custom recording studio...and bought more gear.
I have done 16 auditions total and read a lot of great books. Some auditions were so much fun, like Writers Block, by Hank Garner that I just had to buy the book. I am not sure if my success rate is good or bad, but I do know the experience is valuable. I was just awarded two books by Robert Paine, The Smart Prepper: Avoiding Beginner Mistakes and Budget Prepping: Surviving On Less
Check out my ACX page there are a few audition samples and a lot of information.
A few of the really fun ones are linked below:

Palm Beach Nasty
My latest attempt at exposure was creating an account and web page at Fiverr, although I must admit I haven't given it all of the attention it deserves. I do hope that will become the portal to kick off the Voice Over portion of this career. Fiverr really seems to have potential, I did begin talks with the very nice lady in charge of advertising for a new food and spice company. (fingers crossed)
