Giovanni's voice is in countless national TV and radio commercials for the most renowned and prestigious brands not only in Italy, but also in the UK, USA and most English-speaking countries around the world, where Giovanni's authentic Italian accent is in high demand.

If you live in Italy, chances are you have heard Giovanni's voice many times on national TV and radio commercials or maybe in a film trailer, a TV promo, a cartoon or a lot of other media and applications.

Giovanni has voiced hundreds of characters for the best selling video games for all major gaming platforms including PC, PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, PSP, Xbox, Xbox 360, GameCube and Wii.

If you live in the UK, you will be familiar with Giovanni's voice as it's on TV in many commercials and documentaries for the BBC, Channel 4, ITV, CNN, Discovery and a lot of digital channels, or on the radio on commercials, radio dramas and documentaries on BBC Radio, Virgin Radio, talkSPORT and many more stations!

If you live in the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, India, AE or any other countries where English is spoken, then you have heard Giovanni on TV and radio commercials for any Italian products and brands or any commercials and documentaries requiring an authentic Italian accent, yet in an English that is smooth, pleasant and easily understood by all English-speaking audiences. In fact, Giovanni's fluency in English is almost native-like, so he is definitely the best choice for foreign markets, and even more so as he can make his Italian accent lighter or stronger as required.
Giovanni is hired all the time for commercials of fine Italian cars, fashion, jewellery, foods and restaurants around the world and to voice many typical Italian stereotype characters e.g. mafia bosses, womanisers, restaurant owners, chefs, opera singers, etc.

The versatility of Giovanni's voice paired with his strong acting background, plus a great deal of personal talent, enable him to provide a multitude of different voicing styles and moods.

Giovanni can easily switch from a deep rich voice to friendly, lighter and softer tones. His voice can be soft, warm, smooth, sophisticated, dreamy, intimate, sensual, sexy, breathy, stylish, aristocratic, suggestive, serious, institutional, informative, announcing, matter-of-fact, caring, concerned, friendly, joyful, posh, sincere, easy-going, energetic, excited, authoritative, tough, row, gravelly, raspy, in-your-face, nasty, evil, malicious, upset, enraged, sarcastic, ironic, allusive, middle-class, upper-class, lower-class - or anything else you could imagine!

Artistically born as a character actor, Giovanni can adapt his voice to any requirements, evoking powerful images in the listener's mind and bringing to life from the funniest cartoon character to the most formal and institutional corporate narrator to the darkest master of the underworld for the latest horror video game!

But Giovanni's talent doesn't end with TV/radio work or character voices!

Giovanni is the voice of choice of the most prestigious and globally recognised blue-chip corporate clients who regularly rely on his professional, polished and convincing corporate style to convey their important messages.

From Microsoft to Intel, Hewlett-Packard, Canon and IBM, only to mention very few, if they are major global players, they want Giovanni to be their voice!
