As a freshman at
Southern Illinois University, Nic was at one of his lecture hall
classes and sat next to a fellow student who asked the usual
questions: "Where are you from?" "What did you do in High School?"
When Nic mentioned he had participated in speech tournaments and
took a couple of ranking medals in radio speaking, the fellow
student immediately said... "You should come to the student radio station
and audition". It turns out the student was an active
participant at the station himself. Nic auditioned and not
long after that, he had regular air-shifts (Reading news, listening
to unending hours of classical music, taking transmitter meter
readings every half hour and tried his best to pronounce those
exotic foreign composer names!) on WSIU. Soon after, he was
hired at the privately-owned AM/FM station in Carbondale, WCIL, to do a
two-hour pop music show at night. (The only one in Southern
Illinois at the time!) This eventually was expanded to six hours and,
later, became the main format of the station.
Upon graduation, Nic had
over three years of professional radio experience behind him and,
after a brief stop-over in Rockford and
(Very briefly) Kenosha, he
got the call he had been waiting for from Chicago! Nic spent
the next fifteen years working for Chicago FM stations owned by CBS,
NBC and ABC.
Known in Rockford as Nic Scott
and later as Nic St.John in Chicago, he honed his voice-over craft while producing
commercials and listening to (and learning from) some of the best VO talent
and producers in the nation.
Nic now lives with his
wife Patty, son Nico and pet Beagle, Beatrice in Southwest suburban Chicago.
His high-quality, Internet-connected, in-home digital audio studio
affords him great flexibility in providing timely, high-quality
voice services across the nation and worldwide. (Europe, India and
