About Jonathan Lockwood

An American voice actor recording from the mountains of central Mexico

Jonathan About Young

I've been in voiceovers a long time, over 30 years now, and still get a kick out of it every day. What I love is when everything in a project comes together into something genuinely beautiful: the imagery, the music, the words. And my voice gets to be part of what makes it work.

Along the way, I've had the chance to work with some incredible brands: Lexus, GE, Intel, Oracle, the UFC, Arby's, Goodyear, SelectQuote, PBS, BBC Worldwide, and a ton of others you'd know. The National Association of Broadcasters and the CDC selected me for their nationwide COVID-19 public service campaign, right at the beginning of that insane time.

Whether it's a high-energy retail spot, an ad or corporate video that needs to sound like a real conversation, or a narration that needs a little warmth and gravity, I bring the same thing to every session: I want to understand exactly what you need, so you're proud of what you've created.

These days I record from my own studio, tucked away in the mountains of central Mexico. Quiet, focused, and set up to get you state-of-the-art audio fast. I'm available for live-directed sessions too, whenever you'd like to be part of the process, using Source Connect, Zoom, or whatever platform works best for you.
