Jesse Chung

School Admin

Jesse began his voiceover journey right here at Voice One in the Summer Fast Track of 2022. While relatively new to the voiceover arena, Jesse is no stranger to the creative world, having previously studied theatre and acting from various companies and institutions such as his alma mater, UC Davis, and the American Conservatory Theater right here in San Francisco. After previously taking a long break from his creative shenanigans, Jesse is excited to join Voice One and restart his voice acting pursuits. When he has downtime, you can find him engaging in almost any hobby you can think of - drawing, gaming, writing, reading, and of course, talking to cats outside his window.
