Animation, Character & Video Game Voice Over
I’m Roberto “Berto The VO” Jolliffe, a Texas-based voice actor for animation, cartoons and video games, and honestly, this is where I get to play. I’ve voiced characters in Akedo: Ultimate Ninja Warriors, Paw Patrol: Mighty Pups toy play and the mobile game Critical Strike, and I was a 2024 One Voice Awards nominee for Best Character Performance in Animation. Heroes, villains, tough guys, goofy sidekicks and kid-friendly characters: I bring big energy, improv instincts from The Groundlings, and a wide range to every role.
I’ve been the class clown since way before it paid, so bring me the weird ones. The louder, stranger and more over-the-top the character, the more fun we’re going to have.
Characters I’ve voiced
- Akedo: Ultimate Ninja Warriors – Slam Granderson, Buster Bling and Static
- Paw Patrol: Mighty Pups (toy play) – Sam Stringer
- Critical Strike (mobile game) – Carl Jones
- “Amazing Tale of Space” animated series – Captain Zane
- “Mutant Boxer” – Buster Splits
- The Ultimate Super Mario Bros. Wonder recap cartoon
- Sci-fi character narration and an animated character challenge
I was also selected by the DreamWorks Animation team at That’s Voice Over Expo to read for Head of Casting Ania O’Hare. Watch the read.
Range
Give me a sketch and a sentence, and I’ll give you a voice. Playable ages of about 13 to 55, from deep and gritty to high-pitched and zany. I create original characters from art, a description or a reference, and I’m trained in clean efforts (attacks, hits, jumps, deaths) for games.
For video games
- Character dialogue, barks and callouts
- Efforts and combat sounds
- Long sessions and pickups recorded with the same mic setup and levels, so new lines match the old ones
- Live-directed sessions over Source-Connect or Zoom
