J.E. Burton
Multiaccented Voice actor
Sacramento, California
The Voice Acting Journey
... started in infancy, but took some detours. I grew up in the eastern and southwestern US with a love for reading and imitating characters: my fascination with voice acting began as a voice-chasing tot. It turned into recording tv shows like Knight Rider and Tranformers on my boom box and imitating the characters, and writing episodes of them and drawing comic books! I shelved my studio passions but used voice acting to entertain classes. Teaching conversational English while studying life sciences led to assisting (English-as-Second Language) Teachers in Adult School. I came to a fork in the career road- choosing ESL over science. My ESL career began in 2005, whilst empowering children and adult students gain ground as US Citizens.
I returned to my first love. Slowly production companies in North America, Oceania, and East Asia invited me to audition. I moved on from ESL to work as background actor in numerous roles and capacities, still training in voiceover education and musical performance.
Constant in-person workshops with the busiest working LA-based coaches- including Pat Fraley, Debi Derryberry, Billy West, Marc Cashman (and the list goes on!)- hone my skills. I moved on from ESL to work as background actor in numerous roles and capacities while training in voiceover education and musical performance. This dedication earned me my first German (but in English) acting credit ("Der Kleine Wasserman", Goerlitz Children's Museum, East Saxony) while living in Los Angeles!

On Joining Elsevier Health as a Medical Narrator!
Why is this book so special? Because it presents complex material in a fun way that makes you want to understand how these processes work in nature and under a microscope!
At any moment now, I'll get to narrate my first subject as Medical Narrator for Elsevier for Health, a name I enjoyed reading from in high school and uni. In 2002 I could still use this 1995 text. Its immersive photography, effusive writing and crisp framing of both within the margins pulls you in for each page.
You can almost hear a voice weaving complex words like poetry.
In 2019 a narrative Designer reached out on my #voice123 profile to invite me to audition for her project at what was then #Shadowhealth . Life happened and following the yearly inquiries on the opportunity to collaborate led to dead ends. Until last year. Elsevier absorbed Shadow Health. On the umpteenth try I connected with Iván Beltrán, who'd taken over for the previous narrative designer. Don't give up on your goals!
Thank you Ivan. It’s coming #fullcircle ⭕️
