About

With over 15 years of experience in the entertainment industry, Jana brings a wealth of creative expertise and unique perspective to her work. From her extensive work in New York City and Chicago to her current base in Milwaukee, Jana has honed her craft globally, collaborating across industries and borders to deliver exceptional results. She is a passionate communicator who understands that the impact of a message is not only shaped by the words we use but by the way and the context in which we deliver them.

Jana’s journey as a voice over artist began early, rooted in classical vocal training where she learned the importance of technique and precision. Over time, she came to understand that a truly captivating performance extends beyond the words themselves. It is the total presence—the energy, the intent, and the unspoken message—that creates lasting resonance long before a single word is uttered.

In addition to her work as a voice over artist and on-camera talent, Jana has toured the world as a professional vocalist and musical theatre actress, bringing diverse characters and stories to life on stages across the globe. Her expertise spans various roles, including Casting Associate, Talent Consultant, Voice & On-Camera Acting Coach, Competition Judge, and mentor to artists of all ages.

Currently, Jana leads the creative and content team at a prominent in-house agency in New York City, where she collaborates with a wide range of professionals, from entry-level to C-suite executives. With a deep understanding of the human connection, she has worked with hundreds of leaders across industries to help them communicate more effectively, foster team cohesion, and inspire creativity.

Services

  • Currently represented by DDO Chicago, Lori Lins Talent Milwaukee, and Wehmann Talent Minneapolis, I have been a Voice Over Artist and professional singer for many years, lending my voice to national and regional radio and television commercials, animation, gaming, audiobooks and non-broadcast industrial projects alike.

    I was originally coached in NYC by Marla Korbin and Bryant Falk while working as a musical theatre actress, singing across the globally on land and at sea for many years before relocating from NYC to Chicago.

    I’ve landed in Chicago where I record from my fully equipped professional sound studio.

  • The daughter of two educators with a full throated respect of the arts who devoted their lives to the betterment of their students, I grew up in classrooms. It was there that I first realized everything starts with the successful communication of an important message - and the impact storytelling can have on lives.

    I’ve experience as a theatre director, choreographer, casting associate, talent agent and acting teacher.

  • In addition to my creative career in theatre, voice over, music, and on camera, I also actively work in corporate where I see the impact of effective communication every day. There are so many times that intention and message were well meaning, but the way in which they were communicated failed.

    Whether delivering a key note speech for a major event, a show stopping monologue during opening night, the high note during the climax of a broadway hit, or a 1:1 with your direct report, approach is everything.

  • I’m no stranger to the stage; unlike a lot of people, it’s the place I feel most comfortable—besides a hammock in the fall, of course.

    I have been a professional stage/screen actor for almost 20 years. I started public speaking in my high school days (winning my state solo and ensemble competition and speaking at events) and went on to perform onstage at theaters across the gloobe, from NYC and Chicago to Barcelona, London and beyond.

    I’m available as an speaker, host, or moderator.

    If you’re looking for someone compelling, savvy, yet empathetic who knows the power of storytelling and how to command a room, look no further.
