This week on The Making Wavs VO Podcast, we’re joined by ADR director and creative force Jason Lord, for an in-depth conversation on his journey through voiceover, direction, and the artistry behind anime dubbing.
Jason shares how his musical background shapes everything he does, including how he listens, communicates, and ultimately directs performances with rhythm and emotional clarity.
You will hear his approach to ADR direction, how he builds trust in the booth, and why his coaching philosophy centers around listening first. As Jason puts it, “An actor’s choice is an actor’s choice”! His job is to meet the actor where they are, then help them elevate and expand their work without ever compromising their authenticity.
We will also hear from Lacey Deline, who chimes in with her firsthand experience working with Jason in the booth. She offers thoughtful insight and real-world feedback on what makes his directing style so effective, collaborative, and empowering for actors navigating high-pressure ADR sessions.
Whether you're behind the mic or behind the glass, this episode is full of value for anyone passionate about the craft of voiceover!
