Jonavan Barnes

Growing up in the Blue Ridge/Smoky Mountains of East Tennessee, I have a strong regional accent. I undertook undergraduate study in Psychology at East Tennessee State University in my hometown of Johnson City, Tennessee. Soon after, in early 2003, I moved to Nashville to begin my MBA at Middle Tennessee State University (in Murfreesboro). At this time, I simultaneously began a career in commercial aviation. In 2009, I received an offer to begin my PhD in Marketing at The University of Stirling in Scotland. This was an opportunity of a lifetime and much too good to pass up, so I packed up my things and moved. This adventure led me to an amazing lifetime in Scotland where I now reside with my incredible wife Katie, my fluffy dog Moki and our cat Queequeg.

I have been trained as a voiceover artist by Emily Jardine in London since early 2022. I am currently enrolled at Edinburgh Acting School.

I have a passion for music, film and various outdoor pursuits. My artistic pursuits include playing the violin, acting and voiceover. My hobbies are far reaching and include: continued study in the academic literature (Marketing, Management, Engineering and Natural Sciences), flying gliders, SCUBA diving, mechanical watch repair and walking my dog with my lovely wife.
