Recently, Beebe Memorial Cathedral began broadcasting its Sunday announcements to help streamline the flow of Sunday service. What most members didn’t realize is that the warm, dynamic voice welcoming them was one of their own, Tee Jay Jetson, a professional voice actor.
A longtime storyteller with a background in writing, Jetson was captivated when she first stood at the mic to tell stories about Oakland for the Mills College public radio program in graduate school.
“The mic allowed me to blend storytelling with service,” she recalls.
Since 2023, Jetson has trained and coached with leading voiceover professionals in commercial, political, corporate narration, explainers, e-learning, automotive, and more. The results are captured in her demos.
In March 2025, she signed with her first talent agent, Shortlist. One month later, she signed with New York talent agency CESD.
Jetson auditions daily from her home studio, because “I am an entrepreneur and voiceover is my business.”
Currently, Jetson is doing the live-announce opening segment for Best in Gospel Bay Area, a music competition produced by Gregory Cole, and she says, “I am having a blast!”
