Janice Lynn Sykes

My vocal abilities include: Comedic, quirky, upbeat, inspirational, motivational, regional (Southern and Midwest) supportive, bold, and confident voices.

Some of my recent credits as a voice actor include an audiobook called The End of Love by Sabrina Strings, a regional commercial for Northwestern Medicine, a comedic short film called Secret Menu Beauty Pageant, a promo for American Conservatory Theater announcing The Wizard of Oz, and a fictional podcast called Higher Grounds. My voice is warm, deep, rich, and authentic. I typically do Midwest, Southern, and West Coast accents. My recent voiceover training includes private coaching and creating my commercial demo with Robin Reed, as well as voiceover classes at The Actor’s Studio of Orange County with Isaac Robinson-Smith and private coaching with Carroll Day Kimble, casting director. My other acting training includes: Characterization and Movement (Purdue University), Improv Workshop A (The Groundlings), Fundamentals of Acting I, II, and III, On Camera Audition and Performance Technique, Improvisation I, and Advanced Improvisation (South Coast Repertory), and Reality of Doing: Living Truthfully (The Actor’s Studio of Orange County).
