As an Animation Voice Acting Coach, I help folks build their animation toolbox, connect with their creativity and unlock their inner cartoon character.

I work with folks from all walks - teachers, writers, actors, even wrestlers. Alum have gone on to work with Disney, NBCUniversal, Nickelodeon, Sesame Workshop and more.

  • If you're interested in character work and animation voice acting, Jake is an AMAZING coach and director. He gave me more confidence auditioning with a combination of personalized lessons and memorable tools. I got a callback for a series on my first audition after working with him!
