Available in my acoustically treated studio every day for live directed sessions over a wired Ethernet connection via Source Connect, Cleanfeed, Zoom, Meet and more.

Jo is a professionally trained *British* voice actor, linguist, singer and musician totally dedicated to quality who speaks English with a range of regional accents, from signature Midlands received pronunciation, to cockney after living in London for years, and Scottish as he grew up in Scotland as wee bairn. He also speaks fluent Italian and Spanish like a local.

Jo can take direction, change inflection and tempo, do drop-ins, vary delivery in different takes, and more, and has worked on true history podcasts, audiobooks, Star Wars episodes, played video game characters in Skyrim and a variety of animation and cartoon characters including the classic Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde.
