Elaine Clark, Director
Jonathan Cormur’s voice is friendly and authentic—he can play the nice guy, the nerd, the everyman and conjure up some of the quirkiest, offbeat, and lovable characters kids will adore.
Can you make more stories with the Big Bad Wolf? He’s funny. I listen like a million times.
Ella Grace, Fan
His first start was doing the in-park voice over for California’s Great America Theme Park shows and attractions. Six Flags, their parent company, chose his voice work as their Halloween Haunt Overlord for several other Six Flags properties across the US. Some of Jonathan’s other clients include 2K Games, Electronic Arts, America’s Test Kitchen, Oracle, Verizon, Ten Forward Films, San Francisco Airport, Audible, Creativity Inc. and Geek Club Books.
Jonathan has provided California’s Great America with an immense range of different voices and characters, quickly becoming our go-to guy for all voice over requirements. He always delivers exactly what is needed quickly and professionally. He is also extremely creative, often coming up with new and different ideas that often work better than we originally planned.
Thomas Tissot, Operations Supervisor
Jonathan learned his craft from some of the best working voice actors in the business—Bob Bergen, Mick Wingert, Cristina Milizia, Richard Horvitz, Elaine Clark, Holly Dorff, Collette Sunderman, Everett Oliver—to name a few. He never stops learning! He continues to study, practice and grow his skills as an acting talent. He’s currently working on his singing performance with Jared Gertner, a Broadway and West End musical theater actor.
Often called the “Oscars for Voice,” The Voice Arts® Awards is an international event by the Society of Voice Arts and Sciences (SOVAS) that honors excellence and artistry in the voiceover industry. Jonathan is a 2024 and 2026 Voice Arts® Awards Nominee.

Storyteller and Podcaster
Be the hero of your own story! That’s at the heart of Dorktales Storytime, an imaginative podcast for kids and their geeky grownups hosted by Jonathan Cormur. He also voices his co-host, Mr. Redge—a curious, clever and cheeky hedgehog—plus multitudes of characters ranging from a variety of kings, queens, princesses and emperors to witches, ogres, trolls, crypt-keeper, and a huge menagerie of sentient animals. You will also hear him drop some pop-culture easter eggs and a few Jean Luc Piccard impressions.
CHARACTER PREVIEW:
Launched in late August 2020, the podcast is in the top 1% of all podcasts (according to Listen Notes) and it’s been featured in Common Sense Media’s Picks for Apple Podcasts and often appears on “best of” lists for kids and family podcasts. It has been licensed by Yoto and Pinna, popular screen-free audio platforms for kids.
The voice work is the standout feature here. Cormur is a SAG-AFTRA voice actor with serious theatrical chops, and it shows in every character he brings to life. The show bills itself as being made for all ages, with big laughs for kids and clever nods that go over their heads and land with the parents. That dual-audience approach works because the writing is genuinely witty, not just surface-level puns.
