Considering she has managed voiceover casting, talent, and business affairs for 16 years across all Discovery networks and platforms, Joy Johnson-Williams is, to say the least, well-versed in the field.
Some of Discovery’s most-watched events, like “Shark Week” and “Puppy Bowl,” have been under Johnson-Williams’ direction. Most recently, she’s been focusing on finding VO talent for the launch of Discovery+’s global initiatives, including Discovery+ US, Discovery+ EMEA, and Discovery+ Canada.
Before joining the world of cable TV, Johnson-Williams worked in the film industry for 15 years, writing and producing for Sony Pictures Studios, Steven Spielberg’s Amblin Entertainment, and DreamWorks SKG. Here, the TV and casting vet offers invaluable insights for any voice actor who’s eager to get booked, particularly in the documentary and docuseries spaces.
