We’re recording live from JordanCon, surrounded by the hum of readers, creators, and pure convention chaos, and we wouldn’t have it any other way. Our guest is Jessica Threet, a voice actor, singer, and audiobook narrator with 500+ titles who knows exactly how a single voice can pull you deeper into a story than you thought possible.

We talk about the craft behind audiobook narration and voice acting: why performing on stage isn’t the same as performing into a microphone, how mic technique changes everything, and what it really takes to deliver just a few finished hours of audio. Jessica shares how she stays “on” for long sessions, how she tracks character voices with notes and sound clips, and why certain accent combinations require a mental gear shift to keep performances clean and believable.

We also get into the heart of the work. Jessica explains how she connects to characters through psychology, even when their experiences are nothing like her own, and why some series endings leave her openly sobbing in the booth. Along the way, she shouts out favorite projects, highlights the value of on-page representation in fantasy and cozy stories, and teases what’s next including Red Rising work, the Natural Magic series, Unserious, and a LitRPG release. You’ll even hear the story of a booth mishap that accidentally became a forever “Easter egg” on Audible.
