About Me:
You can probably say that Tom Vernon Productions began the instant I entered broadcasting, which was way back in 1970. Although I spent many years as an announcer and disc jockey, working on the air primarily in radio, a lot of that time was in production studios doing commercials, promos, and whatever anybody wanted me to do, or didn't want to or couldn't do.
During that period, I learned a lot about voiceover work and audio production in general. I've also had the good fortune and opportunity to have been able to work with some of the best in the business - in my own recording studio, and other facilities. I've been free-lancing for many years now, and basically decided to begin my own business. This website is the latest endeavor in a lifelong pursuit of working, in what I consider, the best industry in the world - production and entertainment.
Most folks are happy with the quality of work I give them...although of course you can't please everyone. There are a lot of people who think they know what they need, however what they think they need is not necessarily in their best interest. I've learned to work with them anyway though, and give them what they want - good, bad, or indifferent...because in the final analysis, they're the ones paying you.
In addition to the production company and this website, I'm also involved in several other ventures. In the near future, you'll see links for those companies: "First Run Entertainment", and "Really Neat Stuff".
Tom Vernon Productions is primarily involved with the day to day recording environment - Radio & TV audio, audio books, web audio, some television stuff...etc...
First Run Entertainment will be devoted specifically towards Television and Motion Picture Films, Stage Productions, representing talent in various forms and media...that kind of thing. Really Neat Stuff will be for anything else that doesn't necessarily fit any of those categories, or crosses over from one media to another. It'll be a fun company, with a lot of surprises along the way. I hope you'll look for both companies on the web soon.
Incidentally, I'm currently working on several television shows and film projects, including doing a few screenplays. I'm also a Production & Studio Manager for a large media company here in South Florida. So as you can imagine, I'm a very busy guy.
All in all though, in closing, I must say that I've enjoyed every minute of what I do, and if I could do it 24 hours a day without sleeping, I would. Creative ideas, production, bringing it all together...that's what I live for. I love people, and I love helping them with whatever production request they might have. If you have an idea in mind and need someone like me to "bring it to life"...then by all means...let's talk! I'm looking forward to working together with you on your next project. Have a great day! :>)
Cheers!
Tom
