Hygge VO

Hygge (pronounced hoo-gAh) describes a quality of coziness and comfortable affability that creates a feeling of contentment or well-being; a quality Jessica Holtan knows a little something about.

An award-winning voice actor, Jessica exudes relaxation and comfort into her reads, with the versatility to connect to a wide range of vocal personalities. With Wisconsin and Minnesota roots, Jessica is a Midwestern girl at heart, but now resides in Nashville, TN. She is grateful to make her living full time as an actor, singer and songwriter in Music City.

Jessica’s voice lends itself to a variety of projects, from commercial work, to political campaigns, video games, corporate explainer videos, audiobooks and IVR, and her authenticity shines through in every read. Clients like Lumryz, Annie’s Organics, Blue Cross/Blue Shield, PenFed Credit Union, and LinkedIn have been impressed by Jessica’s ear for direction, upbeat personality and her efficiency. She is a 2024 Selah Award winner for her audiobook work, as well as a 2024 Reed Award winner for her work in the political genre.

Jessica provides clear, professional audio from her broadcast-quality home studio equipped with Sennheiser 416 and Audio-Technica 4047 mics, Focusrite Interface, Source Connect Standard and TwistedWave digital audio workstation. She also uses GarageBand for multi-track recording when needed. 

When she’s not in the booth, you can find Jessica enjoying her own personal hygge by cooking up delicious dishes, deeply immersing herself in video games, planning her next vacation with her honey and three beautiful children, or performing on various stages around Nashville.

Experience delightful contentment with Hygge VO. Grab a cup of coffee, roll up some lefse, and listen for yourself!
