Welcome to the second part of my interview with the award-winning voice actress, Cissy Jones! She’s worked on such games as The Walking Dead, Life is Strange, Where the Water Tastes Like Wine, and Firewatch where she won a BAFTA award for her performance as Delilah! Cissy also works extensively in commercials and trailers.

In the previous episode, we talked about how Cissy broke into voice acting. After hearing a radio interview with Nancy Cartwright, the voice of Bart from the Simpsons, Cissy started researching voice over training opportunities in her own area and jumped into the world of voice over with both feet! Her commitment, organization, and tenacity have served her well! After facing some tough challenges, she eventually established herself as a marketable and successful voice actress in Los Angeles.

In this, the second part of our interview, we discuss what inspired Cissy to become a voice actress in the first place! You’ll discover that while cartoons were the first thing that drew her to voice acting, what really sealed the deal for her was finding out just how many different kinds of jobs there were in all types of voice over! After that, we talk about what it was like for her to work on the game Firewatch and what she learned from her co-star, Madmen actor Rich Sommer. She even reveals a special goal she has, which is to break a big glass ceiling for women in the world of voice over! I think you’ll really enjoy Cissy’s insights!
