A warm, comforting, intelligent storyteller that brings a sense of passion, security, and trust to your brand. https://www.jeananndouglass.com/voice-acting | jeanann@jeananndouglass.com | Fast Responses and Same Day Turnaround available from my professional home recording studio. VOICEOVER ARTIST ∙ AUDIOBOOK NARRATOR ∙ STORYTELLER Welcome to the voice of substance, nuance, and authenticity. I’m JEAN ANN DOUGLASS—a multi-award-winning audiobook narrator, voice actor, and theatrical storyteller who brings your words to life with intelligence, intimacy, and emotional precision. Whether you need a voice that’s warm and relatable, textured and grounded, or conversational yet commanding, I deliver performances that resonate. With a background in theater and a celebrated career in voiceover, I specialize in audiobooks, commercials, documentary narration, corporate VO, eLearning, and character-driven storytelling. ▸ My voice is natural, real, and emotionally present. ▸ I sound like a person you know and trust—not a voice actor performing a script. ▸ Clients trust me with stories that require authenticity, subtle humor, emotional range, and human connection. VOICE STYLE & DELIVERY Whether you're looking for a voice that feels like a trusted friend, a grounded expert, or a dry-witted narrator, I specialize in conversational delivery that avoids the overly commercial or polished feel. My clients often request a voice that is real, relatable, subtly humorous, and capable of emotional nuance without tipping into melodrama. From testimonial-style reads to soft-spoken storytelling, my sound aligns with casting calls that ask for voices that are lived-in, measured, and natural—not announcer-y. Producers and brands frequently describe my delivery as warm, textured, and reassuring—a voice with personality, not performance. Whether embodying the voice of a modern parent, a witty narrator, or a calm explainer, I bring clarity, character, and connection to the mic. My range covers tones from lighthearted and compassionate to confident but never slick, ideal for clients who want a voice that resonates with real people. If you're casting for a non-regional, professional American voice that still sounds personal, fresh, and grounded, you're in the right place.

I bring particular strength to first-person narrative, memoir, literary fiction, and nonfiction that calls for thoughtful pacing and insight.

THEATER BACKGROUND ∙ WRITING ∙ STORYTELLING ROOTS I’m also a playwright and performer, known for creating deeply human, emotionally complex, and sharp-witted narratives. My play The Providence of Neighboring Bodies was named one of the Best Shows of the Edinburgh Festival by The Guardian. My writing has been produced or developed by Playwrights Horizons, Montana Rep, Clubbed Thumb, and more. I co-direct the experimental Human Head Performance Group and hold an MFA from Brooklyn College in Performance & Interactive Media Arts. This theatrical foundation deeply informs my approach to voice work—I don’t just read scripts, I inhabit them.
