Jerra performed for the Sydney Theatre Company as Sonny in Cat On A Hot Tin Roof. Jerra worked alongside Kip Williams, STC Artistic Director and an all-star cast including Zahra Newman, Pamela Rabe and Hugo Weaving. He loved every minute of his STC theatrical debut and learnt so much performing in front of more than 850 people each night.
Jerra has worked on many big brand commercials including Lego, Toyota, Big W and Taronga Zoo. Jerra is extremely experienced in all types of voiceover, singing included. He’s a creative little guy with serious acting chops as his reviews below confirm!
Jerra loves running, playing his trumpet, performing speeches and reading.
Check out Jerra’s demos, reviews and recent work.
The combination of siblings Skye and Jerra for the recent Jeep Grand Cherokee campaign was a delight and exactly what the client was after. They brought their bubbly energy and fun nature to the spot which they sung in seamless harmony. I hope they never grow up so we can use them again for future kid spots!

Jerra is a great voice actor and an even greater friend, as he strives to make others laugh, encourage us in sports when Morales are low and all round just being there when you need to talk, it been amazing to get to know Jerra over the last year. As a friend I endured the entirety of Kangaroo Beach and Wonder Gang just to see him do his thing. My family and i thoroughly enjoyed watching 100% Wolf as Jerra’s humour really shined.
Jerra is an amazing voice actor and even better person once you get to know him. Should be a movie star. Would recommend.
From your ever so loyal friend, Judd

Jerra was just fantastic to work with. His first read was pretty much on the money, meaning we were able to capture a real range of tone and intonation throughout the piece. He took this direction effortlessly, humoured all of our ‘can we try’ requests, and was really dedicated to doing a great job. A real young professional – would definitely recommend.

Jerra is an amazing little talent and will no doubt lead the way for future Australian voice talent. He did not miss a beat when he was thrown in the booth with one of Australia’s leading adult voice artists.
Jerra was a pleasure to work with and took direction like the professional that he is. I am looking forward to our next session.

Neville is the heart and soul of Kangaroo Beach and when I first heard Jerra’s audition piece, I almost fell out of my chair with excitement. He was so perfect for the part, warm, sweet, innocent, with hilarious and heartfelt delivery. We’ve been blessed to have him star in Kangaroo Beach, and I’ve now worked with him on another upcoming project. He’s such a young professional in the booth, needing very little direction to nail each and every line. Thank you Jerra, we couldn’t have done it without you!

We loved working with Jerra – he has a very authentic and natural voice. He took direction brilliantly and pretty much nailed everything on first take. He has a very bright future ahead!
Kristie Thistlewaite, Head of Project Management - The Works Agency
It was a pleasure to work with Jerra, he’s such a star and so lovely! He blew us all away on the weekend of the shoot – his scenes are my personal favourites and his voice over line is so powerful! I wish him all the best – he has an amazing future ahead of him in this industry.

Not only did Jerra nail every line with perfect diction and enthusiasm, but he also did so primarily on the first take; making my attendance at the session rather unnecessary!

Jerra combines a naturally unique voice with a professionalism and ability to take direction that belies his age. He brings an incredibly dynamic range of energy to a performance which he wields with apparent effortlessness. I thoroughly enjoyed working with Jerra.
Harrison Woodhead – Paper Moose - Director of Alphabet Street for Disney Junior Australia
Jerra is the gem we were looking for after going through hundreds of voices. He is a good listener and hence takes directions well, but also brings his own spin and character to scenes. We ended up with some brilliant performances that melt the heart one moment or make you laugh the next.

I’ve loved working with Jerra. I love his smile and the special hugs he gives.
Pamela Rabe – Big Mama – Cat On A Hot Tin Roof June 2019
I’ve been writing commercial campaigns for 20 years, and I’ve never met a young voice actor with Jerra’s ability to nail the required tone and delivery so quickly and professionally.
Great job Jerra, what a gun!

Just heard Jerra’s voice on the Vinne’s appeal. Sends shivers down my spine. He sounds so sincere.
