Jessica is a versatile actor and vocal chameleon from London. She was raised in a theatre and performed in plays and musicals as a teen, before going on to train at London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art (LAMDA) where she represented the school in the Carleton Hobbs Radio Drama Competition and found a love for the voice world. With a lot of grafting, Jessica has carved out an extensive voice career for herself in videogames, commercials, cartoons, radio, dubbing and is a regular in the TV and Film ADR circuit.

Blessed with an ear for accents and creating characters (according to her Mum she's been mimicking people and parroting dialects since she was tiny) Jessica spends most days recording in USA, Irish, Australian, London and even old-fashioned Norfolk, amongst a bunch of others.

It turns out she's an 'excellent screamer' and 'fabulous at crying' which is very handy in the gaming world! She spent 4.5 years doing motion-capture and voice work to bring the powerful Disciple Z'rell to life in multi-award-winning Baldur's Gate 3 and has played several leads and hundreds of weird and wonderful characters in the BAFTA-winning Divinity: Original Sin 2, Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire, Elex, Spellforce 3, Dragon Quest XI…etc.

In the Cartoon world, Jessica voices Darcy the Digger, Riff & Riff and Farona in Thomas & Friends (Amazon/Netflix) and had the joy of creating Maureen the Rat in some BBC Teach cartoons. She also sings and usually has a song or two in the cartoons she voices.

Over a decade ago, Jessica was lucky enough to discover the world of TV and Film post-production (ADR) and dubbing and can be heard on most channels (or in cinemas, or your preferred streaming service) screaming, crying, cheering, reading news reports, chatting down police radios, singing and everything in between. She even got to play the A.I in Daniel Kaluuya's The Kitchen alongside one of her favourite musicians, Kano!

And you've definitely heard Jessica on a commercial or two! Sometimes even on several channels at the same time!

Jessica thrives in a rehearsal room, delving in to the psyche of a character and is never happier than being on a stage, bringing that character and text to life, in front of an audience. Alchemy! She's been lucky enough to perform on stages all over the place and will always snap up a good theatre opportunity. She's also been in some lovely radio plays and is enjoying doing more in front of the camera for film and TV.

She also has a professional home recording studio!
