Experience
What others have to say about working with Josiah:
Jody Baxmeyer
Jody Baxmeyer Voice Work/JaM Advertising
Josiah is a consummate professional in every sense. He is a team player who puts the group first always and is there every time to pick up slack and ask what more he can do to help out. 

Working on productions with Josiah as a voice actor, I have the privilege of producing audio from his sound chain that is clean, clear and never requires heavy post work to fit within production values. 

Josiah is a great guy and an awesome performer and would be a benefit to anyone's production.
Darcy Pattison, author of The Aliens, Inc. Series, Mims House
Working with Josiah Bildner has been a joy. As a professional, he is always on time with projects and is enthusiastic about his work. His narrator's voice is unique and fun. Josiah brings the story to life with a variety of voices, and lots of energy. But for me, Josiah stands out because of his impeccable timing. Other narrators just read. Josiah watches for the nuances of meaning, humor and life as expressed through the phrasing of a story. He pauses before a punch line; he speeds up for excitement; in short, he's a voice actor of great skill. Highly recommended.

L.L. Muir
Head Writer

I've worked with numerous narrators and Josiah, by a mile, was the most professional and easiest to work with. I never worried about him making deadlines or turning in work that needed editing. He gave me the exact product I'd been hoping for.
I would recommend his production and acting skills to anyone who wants a headache-free experience.

Lisa Riebe
Author of Pond Punkies - Children's Science Fiction Book

Josiah is an amazing guy! He created so many different voices for the Pond Punkies' characters. He was on time with the project and open to any constructive criticism. I just hired him to create the audio book for the second and third books in the Pond Punkies Series.

EXTRAS JUST FOR YOU

SPEECH LANGUAGE PATHOLOGY:
I am also a speech language pathologist well versed in medical terminology. I love working with kids and telling stories and improving on their articulation of speech skills. I enjoy working with a team, collaborating; which translates into the voice over realm in which I work with clients to make their dreams come true.

STORYTELLER:

I love telling stories I am a storyteller for the Education Through Movement/Music organization. I am able to use a variety of accents, voices (pitch, volume, tone, etc) to fully express folktales. I am very fond of African Stories (Anansi the spider) as well as European and classic American folktales. Voice Over is the art of finding that story and communicating! (just ask Bob Souer)

MASTER THESPIAN:

I was raised in the theater! I spent my youth, highschool and even college on the stage. I've loved being an actor all my life. I even received a scholarship to the University of Northern Iowa for theater and starred in productions of The Miracle Worker, Arsenic and Old Lace, The Wake of Jamie Foster, Hamlet, as well as many others. I gave up my dream for a more practical major Art History (tongue firmly in cheek) and have moved from that to a master's degree in Speech Language Pathology. I have always wanted to get back to my acting roots. With Voice Over I get paid to act and embody the character! I totally love voice over. I have taken courses at the Michigan Actors Studio in which I learned the art of commercial production, e-learning voice over, explainer videos, sizzle reels, industrial reads, telephony or on hold message voice over and character work. I have also studied voiceover for character work (for video games, toys and games, cartoon, app voice over for iPads and tablets, movie voice over, and commercial) with Bill Dewees, David Rosenthal, Brian Sommers, and Cristina Milizia. I am the guy next door and The VERSATILE VOICE- My natural tone is "the dude next door" think John Krasinski , 20 something guy. I'm also able to produce a more mature voice with a serious tone. I'm able to tap into my theater background and storytelling to create crazy voices for CARTOONS & VIDEO GAMES! Be sure to add me to your "FAVORITES" list so you can find me when you need me!

Quick turnaround and high audio quality.

And if that wasn't enough, I'm a nice guy too.

I aim for 100% client satisfaction.

I'm easy to work with, prompt, and reliable.
