About Me

I got into voice work because of my disability, the job was accessible and I could work from home - read more about my story below. After attending some classes and being told I was a natural by the absolute industry legend that is Sonny Strait, I just felt that this was what I was destined to be. I put out feelers and auditioned for unpaid castings to see how well my voice translated, and in all honesty to see how desirable my voice was. I have since attended more classes and worked with some amazing companies. 2024 is a busy year for me, I have so much coming on the horizon so stay tuned!

What you get when working with me:

  • 30 minute free audio check with your engineer prior to recording to make sure everyone is happy without eating into paid time.

  • Welcoming environment, whether you are a large casting director or a small Indie director we will work together to get the best result.

  • Need a re-take? I am happy to do this at no cost for under 30 minutes of work. Anything after 30 minutes will be charged at agreed amount unless otherwise stated.

  • I love what I do, I am happy to work within your budget if I want the chance of working with you, please just reach out and we can have a chat.

Military Transition: Civvy Street or Sesame Street

A seen in The Buzz Magazine, Edition 30 - May 2023 - The Voice Over Network.

“Growing up I always had this grandeur idea of making my family proud, following in my Dad's footsteps into the Military, ending up with a family and eventually retiring. For 2015’s version of Jordan this would be the start of that amazing military journey and by 2019 it would already have crashed and burned.

The thing with the Army is that it's an all eggs in one basket kind of deal. That's the contract. So when that basket breaks and you're left with yolk on your hands or in my case PTSD - what direction are you supposed to follow? The Army breaks you down during training then it re-builds you into a Soldier which is fine, albeit you lead a full and healthy life in the army. My particular cap badge was the Royal Military Police and so as well as being built to be a Soldier, we were being built to uphold the law of the Armed forces.

I LOVED my job, but work Jordan and personal life Jordan always had to be separate identities. I couldn’t be me, fully, in both roles. Difficulties are always there in any role but seriously damaging problems arose from targeted and severe bullying in 2017 which unfortunately after a long period of time and exposure lead me to what I would call the tightrope. Walking the tightrope; is what I describe as trying to balance living a normal life, getting on with difficult things and then the impending fall of succumbing to mental health. I've never been very good at balancing, the circus certainly wasn't on the cards for me anytime soon. So after a horrible battle, several therapists and prescriptions later I wound up falling, all the way back in the civilian biome except this time with PTSD.

I was completely lost. No sense of direction, I wasn't even sure if I would be alive the next day but If this mental disorder had left my soul and personality in bleak smoldering embers then the birth of my daughter and marriage to my wife Victoria was the spark to relight it. I was given hope, a chance to provide my wife and child with the support and protection they deserved. A couple of years of being a dad had helped me once again see my inner child and reopen the personality that was locked away during my time in the Armed Forces.

It wasn't until I was enthusiastically shoving my phone into my Wifes face with a clip of a Mark Hamil voice over performance that she finally popped the question… “are you ever just going to give it a try? “ And she was right. I had spent so long trying to please family and appease friends, who told me “that's not a real career” that I never chased after what I truly wanted.

Great; I have the tools, I have some cash, I have my Wife and Daughter who fully support me and now I'm ready to voice-act! “Google…how do I get started as a Voice Actor?” Is there a club? Indeed .com? Oh my god, I'm way over my head. This is difficult. I am a disabled Military Veteran from Scotland with a face for radio but zero of the confidence.

An ad popped up one day for the Sonny Strait webinar provided by a familiar company called The Voice Over Network. This was it, a sign. Sonny Strait was a childhood hero of mine. I knew then that I had to sign up and get my teeth stuck in while the chance was there.

It's been just about a year now, since that first class with Rachel (VO Network) and Sonny and I haven't looked back. This year I am looking to combine my previous life as a soldier and as a voice actor and apply this to motion capture performance.

VON changed my life. I've worked with idols such as Sonny, Mami Okada and Chris Ragaer to name a few. I've developed a confidence in myself that I no longer thought existed. I was selected to take part in Rachel's Accelerator Course, where I forged bonds with fellow Voice Actors from all over who are always there to say “you can”. For the first time since the Military I have found a community I feel I truly belong to; one where work and personal life Jordan can finally thrive as one.

This is real. This is my life.

I am now a Voice Actor.”
