Vox Boy - About Us
[ FIELD DOSSIER // ORIGIN SIGNAL ]

15 Years Behind the Mic.
One Frustration Too Many.

Vox Boy wasn't born in a boardroom. It was born from years of hauling mismatched gear through airports, wrestling with cables in hotel rooms, and losing bookings because a professional setup wasn't within reach. We built the studio we always needed — so you'd never have to rig one together again.

The Problem Nobody Solved

Every Voice Actor Knows This Story.

You land a callback for a national campaign. The rate is great. The deadline is tight. And you're 2,000 miles from your studio, staring at a hotel room wondering how to make it work.

So you do what every working voice actor does — you improvise. Digging through your bag to find the right cable. Hoping your interface and mic play nice with this laptop. Balancing a mic on a stack of books because the stand didn't fit in your carry-on. Thirty minutes of troubleshooting before you can even think about performing — and you still aren't sure the whole rig will hold together long enough to get the take.

It's not a joke — it's the reality for thousands of voice professionals worldwide. And it's costing them real money. Missed auditions while traveling. Expensive studio rentals eating into margins. Gear scattered across bags and cases that take 30 minutes to set up — if everything even made the trip.

The voiceover industry has gone overwhelmingly remote. But the gear hasn't kept up. Until now.

The Moment It Clicked

From Makeshift Studios to a Mission.

Vox Boy founder John Q. Kubin spent over a decade living this exact problem. A working voice actor with credits in TV, film, commercials, and video games, John had built a solid home studio over the years. But the more successful he became, the more he traveled — and the more opportunities slipped through his fingers.

His solution? Pack most of his gear into a satchel and haul it through airports, hotels, and client offices. When a VO opportunity came up on the road, he'd spend 30 minutes building a makeshift studio from all the loose pieces — tangled cables, wobbly mic stands, gear that barely survived the trip. It worked. Barely.

I'd be in a hotel room with gear scattered everywhere, trying to piece together something that sounded professional. It was always a mess and incredibly time-consuming. I kept thinking — there has to be a better way. Now with Vox Boy, my entire studio is mobile, travel-friendly, and ready to record in seconds. No more makeshift setups… just open, and press record.

— John Q. Kubin, Co-Founder & Voice Actor

The "better way" didn't exist yet. So John built it. He teamed up with Taylor Andrew — a top-tier voiceover agent who'd spent a decade watching talented actors lose contracts worth thousands simply because they were traveling. Together, they set out to solve a problem the industry had ignored for years.

The result: Vox Boy — the world's first fully integrated, portable recording studio. Purpose-built for voice professionals who refuse to choose between mobility and quality.

John Q. Kubin

Voice Actor & Product Creator

John is a working voice actor with over 15 years in audio production. His career started in music, which led to voicing for TV, film, commercials, and video games — all while running a successful production company. He's the person who lived the problem every single day, and ultimately designed the solution.

Every component in the VB1 Pro kit was selected from John's years of firsthand experience — gear he's personally tested across hundreds of sessions, hotel rooms, and airport terminals. He didn't design Vox Boy from a spec sheet. He designed it from the road.

John's journey into voiceover started unexpectedly. After spending over a decade recording music, he found himself drawn to the world of voice acting — landing roles in TV commercials, film projects, video game characters, and corporate narration. Along the way, he built and ran a scrappy but successful production company, and even made people laugh through acting, improv, and stand-up comedy.

Through all of it, one frustration never went away: the gear problem. John had invested years building a quality home studio. But the better he got, the more he traveled — and the more that studio became an anchor instead of an asset. He started packing gear into bags and hauling it everywhere, but the setup process on the road was always clunky, time-consuming, and unreliable.

He tried every workaround. Satchels stuffed with loose components. Cables that may or may not be compatible with this week's laptop. Mic stands that didn't survive the flight. Thirty minutes of setup before he could even test levels. Nothing worked reliably enough. And every failed setup meant another potential booking lost to a competitor who happened to be near a proper studio.

The breaking point came when John realized the "portable studio" he needed simply didn't exist. No company had ever created a fully integrated, travel-ready recording kit with professional-grade components that could go from case-to-recording in under 90 seconds. So he decided to build one.

John personally selected every component in the VB1 Pro — from the Universal Audio Apollo Solo interface he'd relied on for years, to the custom-engineered Hexium™ tray system that holds the entire rig together. Every choice was informed by real sessions, real deadlines, and real frustration.

Vox Boy isn't John's first product. But it's the one he wished had existed fifteen years ago.

Taylor Andrew

Voiceover Agent & Industry Strategist

Taylor brings over a decade of experience as a professional voiceover agent and part-time voice artist. He's worked the other side of the industry — connecting talent with brands, managing auditions, and watching firsthand how recording quality (or lack of it) makes or breaks careers.

His dual perspective — behind the scenes managing world-class talent and in front of the mic as a performer — gives him a rare ability to understand every angle of the voiceover business. He knows exactly what clients expect, and exactly what's stopping talent from delivering it.

Taylor's career in voiceover began at Voices.com, where he quickly distinguished himself — earning the President's Club Winner award in 2019 during his very first year. Working daily as a liaison between voice talent and the creative teams who hire them, Taylor helped provide seamless access to professional voice artists in over 100 languages.

Through that role, Taylor helped hundreds of voice actors land projects with top agencies and global brands, securing work that ranged from $100 gigs to $100,000 campaigns. He collaborated with agencies including Media.Monks, Oliver Agency, The Marketing Arm, BBDO, DDB, Droga5, Ogilvy, and Saatchi & Saatchi — helping bring campaigns to life for brands like Nike, Adidas, Dell Technologies, FedEx, Microsoft, Shopify, and teams across the MLB, NHL, NFL, and NBA.

But Taylor saw a pattern that troubled him. Talented voice actors were losing jobs — not because of their skill, but because of their setup. Actors traveling without reliable recording gear. Beginners overwhelmed by the maze of microphones, interfaces, cables, and software they needed just to get started. Working pros forced to rent expensive studio time ($150–300/hour) or waste precious hours cobbling together makeshift rigs from incompatible components in hotel rooms.

With projects often worth thousands — sometimes tens of thousands — of dollars, a single missed audition due to poor recording conditions could be devastating. Taylor watched it happen over and over.

When he connected with John Kubin — a voice actor he'd helped land multiple major bookings during his time as an agent — the two realized they'd been observing the same problem from opposite sides of the desk. John knew the gear. Taylor knew the business. Together, they had everything they needed to build a solution the industry had been waiting for.

[ Signal Origin // Naming Protocol ]

Why "Vox Boy"?

"Vox" means voice in Latin. But the name goes deeper than that. Vox Boy is a nod to our founder's love of retro-futurism — that mid-century vision of tomorrow filled with gadgets, optimism, and just a touch of atomic-age charm.

We wanted our product to feel like the iconic portable tech that defined generations — devices that were both futuristic and deeply personal. Tools that became trusted companions wherever you went.

Vox Boy is your portable production partner. Your signal transmitter. The gear that goes where you go — and sounds like it never left the studio.

[ Transmission // Our Mission ]
