Vocal Qs: Ep 107 - "Epic Voice Guy" Jon Bailey
Description
Vocal Qs has been fortunate enough to bring all of you some amazing LEGENDS of the business. But what about the VIRAL stars of the Voice acting industry? I reached out to Jon Bailey (aka Epic Voice Guy) via email and literally was interviewing him hours later, and that tells you all you need to know about the man. He is giving (a voice over coach in his own right) he is busy, and he is extremely hard working. This episode is PERFECT for those of you wanting to look into becoming a voice actor because Jon has done it all, and continues to plug away in film, animation and his very active social media platforms.
You of course know Jon as the epic voice in Screen Junkies' Emmy winning series 'Honest Trailers' where he has become a viral sensation and heard by millions every month, but Jon has an extensive filmography. He has provided voice over work for dozens of movie trailers, he's played Transformers in the massive hit 'Bumblebee', and even provided ADR to blockbusters like 'Detective Pikachu'. His range of vocal talents is astounding (and I thank him for showing some off even though his voice was not healthy when we recorded this episode).
Jon is also an accomplished impressionist, as his passion for voices is not just reserved to professional work in films providing back up recording for TJ Miller and Ryan Reynolds. You have to check him out on Tik Tok and Instagram, as his deepfake videos have even landed guest appearances in other video content across the internet.
So join us as we discuss his bond with Ryan Reynolds, voicing Soundwave with Transformers legend Peter Cullen, impossible celebrity impressions, and absolutely amazing advice to anyone who wants to become a voice actor. This man took over the podcast this week, and you'll want to hear what he has to say! This episode... in a word... is... EPIC.
