Joseph lent his voice as one of the guards in the inaugural episode of my show, Upheaval, and did so in a professional and timely manner, capturing the essence of the character in accordance to my instructions perfectly. A trustworthy voice actor whom I have had the pleasure to work with and who I wholeheartedly recommend.

Jo was fantastic to work with throughout the entire process in voicing the role of Jekyll/Hyde for our location based audio game, Monsters MIA. He is an incredibly talented and versatile actor, standing out in the crowd of over 1000 auditions submitted for the project. His commitment to getting the nuances of the character just right was very much appreciated, along with his professionalism and friendly demeanor, making him very easy to work and collaborate with. He records in a great space and the audio quality of his files was excellent. I highly recommend Jo!

What can I say about Joseph (Jo) Macdonald? Well, I'll tell you. Joseph (Jo) Macdonald approached me for a Fallout: New Vegas modding project titled Encounters of The Mojave. I took them on, and they performed astoundingly. With a quick turnaround, amazing performance, and a friendly demeanor, I highly recommend them to anyone they approach, and I look forward to future collaborations with them!

Joseph quickly got his lines in and delivered a high quality performance with high quality audio. I really liked his take on the character. The range of emotions was well done. I would definitely work with him again.

Joseph was a joy to work with. He brought good energy from the jump, was enthusiastic about not only the minutia of his role but also the character's thematic context. Further more, he was professional, communicative and turned in an outstanding performance. I hope to work with him again in the future.
