About

Jo Ryder is my NSFW narrator name, I also work under the name Jo Makin for more toned down YA/NA/appropriate all audiences works.

I have been narrating for almost a year and currently have 12 titles combined under my 2 narrator names spanning everything from YA fantasy romance to extreme graphic horror and splatter gore.

Training: About 4 months worth of weekly sessions with a vocal coach. Various one off workshops for both vocal work and audio editing.
