Well, hello there! I'm a Character and Voiceover actress who specializes in creating unusual and memorable personalities. My default VO style is Gen. American Adult "warm and fuzzy," but with a comedic flair and a dash of quirky. I am a former Science and English Teacher (now, that's quirky!), and school principal, so I do an intimating "girl boss" and "angry woman," too. I was raised in a Latino neighborhood and my family were a mix of "off the boat" Sicilian/Italians and South Bostonians, so those accents are in my DNA. My time working with kids as an educator provided a great laboratory for developing child characters who sound like real kids.
I don't like to brag, but I am highly educated, hence the "Dr. Jo" moniker. I am very articulate and can easily work with technical or complex material. I am also a writer and can write or edit copy as needed. Check out my podcast THE HATCHERY, a serialized novel that features several interesting female, male, and child characters all voiced by yours truly!
I am based in Sacramento, California and record from my professionally equipped home studio. I master my own audio, but am happy to work with sound engineers and live directed sessions. You will find me easy to work with and reliable with both product and deadlines. My website is DrJoVO.com if you want to check that out, though I rely mostly on sites like this one to pick up VO work.
