Jungelson
@ajungelson
British voice actor with ever-growing experience. Contact me for any further information required!
I am a Voice Actor, Singer, and Writer
Hello! 

I currently have voiceover experience with formal, educative narration, singing, and character roles ranging from military officers to megalomaniacal villains, to soft-hearted, warm characters (often with a flair of anxiety / nervousness!). 

I pride myself on by eagerness to and confidence in adding whatever emotion is necessary to the character I'm playing, convincingly, be it through tonal, volume, pacing, inflection or cadence changes. I'm also not one to shy away from shouting, crying, and the odd evil laugh ;)

I speak with a natural received pronunciation (posh!) British accent, as such I find my talents best applied to stern, formal characters, villains, and foolhardy romantics..!

For anyone looking for the sort of uncompromising, easily exploitable vigour of a British voice actor on the hunt for more work, look no further!

Cipherus
@ESCipherus
18 year old New Zealand male. Been doing voicework and singing for myself for a while now, want to expand and up my abilities!
I am a Voice Actor, Singer, Writer, and Live Actor
Kia Ora! I'm Ciph, University student in the north island of New Zealand (great place, come visit!). I possibly have a few too many passions for my own good, such as Music, Writing, Games (Especially S/JRPG's) and Martial arts; thankfully, most of those roll together quite well. Love letting those creative feelings echo throughout all of those hobbies.
I got into Voicework around 2021 when I started voice acting each character in various videogames I'd play, and over time It evolved into something I loved doing every time I'd hit new game or load save, and while I wasn't very confident at first, over the years getting back into drama and taking singing lessons, I've become more confident in my abilities. I want to share this passion with others in the field, and hopefully pick up pointers and get better as time goes on!

Mainly a writer, with VA as a side-gig and my secondary line of work.A bit passionate about both, a bit good from practice too.Relatively a new guy to the scene, with a few works under my belt.To put it safely, I'm a nut with a big mind and a bigger creative capacity.

Hi! I'm PolarNerdpress, and I am an aspiring writer and VA!Currently in my late teens, going into young adulthood, I'm rather relatively rookie class here, having been in the business of scripting and voice acting for little more than 2 or 3 years on and off, but my passion and dedication for the craft grows by the day. It would certainly be beneficial for my career if I could build up my way to being better at what I do, so perhaps consider recruiting me. You may be surprised by what I can bring to the table.
