Jackie Weyrauch

Casting, Script Consultation & Voice Over Direction

for Video Games, Animation & Commercial Production

“Jackie has developed an expertise that is uncommon in this industry. Not only has she forged strong relationships with all of the Hollywood talent agencies on Insomniac’s behalf, she is also extremely effective in picking the right actors for the right roles. And when working with the actors she understands how to get the most out of them in terms of performance – something that takes a unique mix of patience, tact and perseverance.

 Jackie’s creative input has been invaluable on each project.  She is a perfectionist who will not settle for merely adequate results in any area.  Our games have consistently received high praise for their voice acting, and the credit must go to Jackie’s casting, directing, and rigorous insistence on top quality.- Ted Price, President, Insomniac Games

“I've had the opportunity and privilege to work with Jackie on a number of projects now. She is hands down one of my all-time favorite directors. She has the uncanny ability to maintain a professional and businesslike attitude while fostering an environment of creativity and fun. Simply put...things get done in a timely manner and everyone leaves with a smile. She never over-directs and always seems to know just how to nudge an actor in the right direction for each take. She commands respect by giving it right back. Each game I've worked with her on has been an absolute pleasure. All I ask is that if you consider her for your next job, please immediately contact my agents and get me on the project. I can't wait to work with her again.” -Nolan North, President, Right Coast, Inc.

“Jackie is the best voice caster and voice over director I've worked with in the industry. She's dedicated, passionate and driven to get great results from any project she works on. She has a terrific ear for dialog, always gets the best out of the actors in the studio, and is an invaluable resource for feedback on scripts. If you need someone to own these aspects of your project, in my opinion you could not do better than Jackie.”-Alex Hutchinson, Creative Director, Electronic Arts

“I’ve known and worked with Jackie for 15 years. She is an extremely talented and committed voice director with true hands on knowledge of the development process. Jackie’s ability to communicate with and understand the needs of the production team allows her to truly bring a project to life in the studio. She has great relationships in the acting community, a special talent for choosing the right person for the right role, and a keen sense for knowing when casting “outside the box” is required. She is also extremely diligent in researching and rehearsing for a project so she can properly prepare the talent, free them create great performances and do so in an environment that says “we are making a game so let’s have fun!”.-Michael Gollom, SVP Animation & Interactive Services, Technicolor

“One of the greatest experiences of my 30 year career was being cast and voice directed by Jackie Weyrauch. I worked with Jackie at Insomniac Games and voiced several characters on several different projects. Jackie is a consummate professional. Her direction was always articulate and respectful. She is someone who really understands actors and characters. I felt very secure and confident in my performance thanks to her easygoing style, direction and care. I know that anyone who has Jackie on their team is going to have the highest quality of professionalism and a lot of fun working with her.”- Richard Horvitz, Actor

"I have been privileged to work with the some of the top Directors in the interactive industry on hundreds of games and Jackie is one of the best…She’s prepared, communicates efficiently and specifically. She has a positive attitude and I always look forward to working with her… I have also worked with Jackie on some big Motion Capture projects… Her experience is vast and her expertise not only lies in the VO Studio but also on the Motion Capture stage as well. In addition to my professional relationship with Jackie…I’m lucky to have her as a friend. Her humor and verve for life inspires me…She’s a great lady." -Robin Atkin Downes, actor

 "Jackie’s unparalleled organizational and personal skills have made all the difference during some very trying times and very difficult deadlines.  On our most recent project we had thousands of lines of dialog that had be recorded and localized in over a dozen languages.  Coordinating this process and maintaining the highest level of quality was an incredibly difficult task, and without Jackie’s superb scheduling, tracking, and fast work the recording process would have completely fallen apart.  Jackie was able to deftly execute tasks that are usually spread between two or three people at most other companies.  Her unique talents have been absolutely vital to maintaining a top level of audio quality without missing any deadlines.“ - Brian Hastings, Chief Creative Officer, Insomniac Games

 “Another thing to note is that Jackie should be considered an expert when dealing with SAG/AFTRA contract negotiating. She has a great understanding of the rules and guidelines that we have to follow. If you’ve tried reading through these documents without a good, strong cup of coffee, you know what I mean.”- Dwight Okahara, Audio Lead, Insomniac Games

“I have worked as a voice actor for Jackie on several projects over the past few years. I have over a hundred games under my belt and I must say it's always a treat to work with a director like Jackie. She's knowledgeable, works quickly and is very considerate of the talent and any demanding vocal work that they may have to perform. Jackie's approach keeps the working atmosphere light but still quite productive. Suffice it to say that she's someone I truly look forward to working with again.” -Chris Edgerly, Actor
