My Voice Experience

The voice of Cara Jones has been heard by billions around the world... She is the voice of the GPS car navigation systems of the Jaguar, models of the Mercedes Benz, Land Rover, Cadillac, Ford, and Lincoln. Cara was the English-language announcer at the awards ceremonies of all outdoor games at the 1998 Winter Olympics at Nagano, broadcast around the world. She hosted a weekly radio series with Barry White, voiced hundreds of TV commercials including spots for Toyota with Christian Slater, very successful ads for Shick, Canon, and a top jeans maker. She has voiced characters in million-selling Playstation and Sega games, such as Shenmue, Einhander, and Tekken 3. In addition, Cara spent 8 years as a prime-time DJ on the #1 FM radio station in Tokyo, and much, much more. Currently based in Boston with an in-house ProTools studio and full-time engineer, she is available for voice-over work around the world.

My Training

Cara began developing her signature, silky-sounding voice while at Harvard University. After completing a BA in Japanese, she signed up for the local radio station and spent three years DJ-ing in Cambridge while she finished her masters degree. She studied voice with Mark Baxter in Boston, and underwent serious on-the-job training during her nightly radio show in Tokyo - with a listenership in the millions - becoming one of the top English voices in Japan.

My Studio Equipment

Cara owns a commercial music and voiceover studio in Metrowest Boston. The Pro-Tools audio suite is staffed with a full-time engineer, vintage and modern mics and pre-amps, dozens of instruments, and a soundproof acoustically-conditioned vocal booth.
