John Morello
Actor
"What elevates this first-rate production to extraordinary heights is the sensational, bruised naturalism and film noir charisma Morello brings to the role" - Worcester Telegram
“Scenes with John Morello are fire…Morello plays with ease. He doesn’t push for the limelight, he simply gets inside the skin of his character: he moves, talks, laughs and is the character” -Worcester Magazine
“This is where the show’s best scenes and performances occur. Morello could have played his part as a singular dimensional antagonist but, instead, he gives the most interesting, layered and vibrant exchanges of the show.” -Metrmag
Storyteller
As seen on PBS' Stories From the Stage, John Morello presents stories in a style that is poetic and vulnerable. His core belief is that some of us succeed because of the story we are born into and others in spite of that story, but we all certainly have one to share. When not telling his own stories he hosts the music-themed storytelling event, Soundtracks.
Voiceovers
The secret to good voice acting is good acting and the key to a good voice is having a strong character behind that voice. There are a lot of great voices in the world but the best ones dig deep enough to bring the character off the page and into the mind of the listener. Whether it's anime, video games, commercials, or audiobooks, Morello brings the same strength and versatility he brings to the performance stage into the recording studio.
T.S. Eliot's
The Waste Land
Part shaman, part TikTok scroller, Morello inhabits and swipes through characters - taking audiences around the world, through time, into a withering culture, and inside
a fractured human psyche.
John revives a poem, often considered impenetrable, making it inclusive, relevant, and fun. An ideal accompaniment for Theatre, Literature, Psychology, History, Religion, and Philosophy curricula.
Bold artistry.
An original ambient score.
Stunning visuals.
A performance audiences never forget.
