John Leader
John Leader signed with SBV in 1984 and almost immediately joined the then-very-small-circle of movie trailer VO artists. He has voiced the trailers and campaigns for hundreds of major movies from ""Indiana Jones & The Temple of Doom,"" to all three ""Back To The Future"" films. From classic Merchant/Ivory award winners to some of the most popular romantic comedies of all time, like ""While You Were Sleeping,"" ""When Harry Met Sally,"" and ""Sleepless In Seattle.""
John was one of the first promo voices to launch the new Fox Television Network in 1988. In 1989 he became one of the primary voices on CBS, a relationship he still enjoys today as the on-going voice of ""Survivor,"" ""The Amazing Race,"" and many of the network's primetime dramas. Through the years John's work has been heard on promos for the original ""Siskel & Ebert,"" ""Hollywood Squares,"" ""Arsenio Hall Show,"" ""Entertainment Tonight,"" and ""Access Hollywood."" Commercially, John's credits include Mazda, GMC Trucks, Acura, Disneyland, Taco Bell, Paramount Home Video, DirecTV, and countless others. John also works for many corporate clients, voicing presentations and videos for stockholder meetings. John's ability to make the complex and complicated sound completely understandable has made him a narration favorite. John, who began his career in broadcasting, and then became a writer and editor before committing to VO work fulltime, is a hospital volunteer in his spare time (with his dog Wizard) and an avid car collector.
