Jane Jamison

Voice Description

I have professionally produced a wide variety of vocal products since 1977: authoritative, credible broadcast news narrations,live radio and television newscasts and recorded news specials, live radio and television breaking news. I am adept at portraying teenaged to senior-aged female voices with sexy, confused, ditzy, angry, annoyed, happy, energetic, calming and crazy deliveries!
I take a lot of pride in providing the client with many plausible choices in a cost-effective time schedule, and in being a fun team-player in the booth.

My Voice Experience

Due to my years of experience in broadcast news where one must get it right on the "first take", I am a very time-efficient talent for my clients. I am not an actress who will need 26 takes to "get in the moment". With good communication to me, you should be able to achieve your production goals time-efficiently to your satisfaction.
I worked from 1977 to 1989 in radio and television news in the midwest and 3 years of radio news and traffic reporting in the San Francisco bay area. I have been hired professionally for voice-over work for charitable and artistic organizations, corporate training and commercial clients.
