Jeffrey Hawkins is a One Voice Award–nominated voice actor based in Annapolis, Maryland, who books regularly in commercial and audio drama work — with animation and video games firmly in his sights. He's been acting for over 20 years, starting on stage at 15, and has spent the last three years building his voice over career from the ground up..

Jeffrey's focus is the first stretch of a VO career — those chaotic early years where talent either find their footing or burn out. Getting started is hard. Staying in the game without losing your momentum, your confidence, or your mind? That can be even harder. Whether you're a seasoned stage or screen actor making the leap, or a total newcomer with no background and a dream, Jeffrey meets you where you are.

Coaching covers the essentials: acting and improv fundamentals, equipment and gear, treating your home space for clean sound, and crafting copy for auditions and pay-to-play samples — the kind that carry you until you're ready for professionally produced demos. As a trained singer, he can also offer insight on vocal technique, though he doesn't claim the title of singing coach.
