My Voice Experience

Jason Bishop has been a full-time voice talent since 2007, but has decades of part-time experience gained during his time as a highly accomplished television professional.

Variety is the word that best describes Jasons' voice acting work to date.
It includes energetic Imaging/Promo work for a 24-hour Sports Channel and a Business Talk-format radio station, Hard-hitting automotive commercials, mellow & sophisticated reads for numerous retailers, natural and engaging E-learning projects for several large corporations and more.

As a former broadcast professional, Jason fully understands how crucial the proper interpretation can be to getting a message across whether it's a 10-second Promo, 30-second commericial or a 30-minute documentary.

My Training

Jason's voice acting training began more than 30 years ago when as a teenager he was the voice talent and on-camera talent for a newspaper looking to recruit carriers. High-school & college drama classes followed as well as radio where he was both a straight-arrow newsperson and a personality-driven DJ for Jazz and Rock formats.

So wether you need a powerful, authoritative, "don't-miss-it" read, or something natural, friendly, smooth and intimate, Jason has the ability to satisfy your voice needs.
