Shirley Jordan

Would you like a Southern belle, a nosey New Englander, or a spirited Jamaican?

I had the pleasure of narrating ZZ Packer's debut collection of short stories, DRINKING COFFEE ELSEWHERE - "Jordan's narration links seamlessly with the text to provide a vivid and entertaining production that supports the author's reputation as an artist with language."—AudioFile I am the voice of TANYA (the doctor) on the multi-award-winning podcast WE'RE ALIVE, A STORY OF SURVIVAL by Kc Wayland. If you love a good old-time zombie radio drama, this one's for you. Over 40 million downloads to date! I've done ADR with various loop groups on commercials, film, and television in both New York and Los Angeles. My first steady ADR job in L.A. was on Stephen Bochco's Cop Rock - remember that? I played the role of Hannah (a young slave) in THE HEART OF BIDDY MASON by Ted Lange (Loveboat) which was performed live at the Wells Fargo Radio Theatre in the Gene Autry Museum. So exciting - the costumes, ol' time mics, foley and orchestra on stage as well! Ted also directed me as young Betty in Walter Mosely's Black Betty for KCRW radio. I look forward to adding your project to my list of fun and rewarding gigs. My most recent teachers have been accomplished VO actress Lori Tritel, television and VO actor David H. Lawrence XVII (Puppet Master on Heroes) and Los Angeles veteran Dan O'Day. I have studied with Stephanie Blume, an agent from Imperium-7 as well as taking workshops from CherylLynne Carter, founder and president of Precise Talent Voice Over Mgmt, and Rick Zieff, Los Angeles V-O teacher. I hold a BFA from the University of Connecticut. I've performed on many television shows and films, including Friends, Mike & Molly, Criminal Minds, Scandal, Pretty Little Liars, LIFETIME'S Accused at 17, and the feature film Post Grad. I absolutely enjoy performing in plays and staged readings. I have taught acting to children from 6 to 10 years old and have given a "business of acting" workshop/seminar on the campus of UCLA to acting majors. Minoring in English at UCONN helped me to become the executive editor for Black Talent News, the hardcopy publication, which is no longer in circulation. I've edited two novels, a website and I write short stories. Audio-Technica2020 USB, Audacity, IMAC G5, Powerbook G4. I enjoy meditation, Pilates, and nurturing plants and animals. I have a passion for creating and selling my unique jewelry and plan to have my website up by the end of the year. I'm a mom and a wife - my two most favorite roles!
