Diana Jurand

I have heart, and depth to my voice like an American Daisy Ridley, with a comedic feel like D'Arcy Carden, and a Tina Fey edge. Kathryn Hahn is a celebrity sound-alike.
I'm often cast in conversational projects, requiring relatability, and a touch of warmth.

I'm work often in pharma and health projects due to my facility with medical terms, fluidity, ability to modulate speed, and warmth.

In animation, I'm frequently cast as warrior queens, etherial Galadriel types, cheeky mystics, poised royalty, transatlantic newscasters, and superheroes.

 Erfahrung

My biggest vo achievement was recently producing a spec ad for the WNBA. I consistently get great feedback from working vo professionals like Mary Lynn Wissner, a respected vo coach out of LA, along with Arianna Ratner, Craig Lee Thomas, Carli Silver, and more. I had my first Walt Disney Animaiton audition the summer of 2024, and continue making life easier for my commercial clients by bringing the sought-after conversational, authentic sound to their brands.

My first VO job was a recurring Walmart job, followed by recurring Health Partners, Coursera, and DelMonte gigs, as well as other independent jobs. I also recently refreshed my demos, which you can hear above.

 Besonderheiten

I love working with dialects. My natural dialect is neutral American with a whisper of a midwest sound.

For a voice match dub on an animated series, I used an Aussie and British RP dialect. I can also do US Valley Girl, US Southern, US NYC, US Minnesotan, Scottish, and Eastern European.
