Jo Kroger began her voice over experience as an adolescent when the local phone company wanted a sampling of young voices. The recorded conversational dialogue to promote a new product in an informational video for investors. Between her stage and music recording experience, she was hooked.

She studied with Edge Studio in both New York and Los Angeles and worked alongside longtime collaborator, Vocal Coach Becca Flinn in the Hollywood Hills before returning to New York to embark on a new chapter.
