John McGrath is a multi-talented
(and some say multi-personalitied) Voice Actor. Despite his youth, he's been

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...
