John McGrath is a multi-talented
(and some say multi-personalitied) Voice Actor, who has been
interviewed on TV
about voice-over. Despite his youth, he's been in this business for as long
as he can remember. In fact, he claims to have developed his famed underwater
fish voice while in the womb - but that has never been proven. Suffice it to
say, he's a veteran voice actor, professional, easy going... and easy to direct.
Did we say he loves his job! But enough talk, check out some of the clients he's
had the privilege of working with...
