Jam Donaldson is a stage, film, television, and voice-over actor known for grounded, smart performances.

She’s equally at home in drama and comedy, especially when there’s room for sharp instincts and dry wit.

With extensive theatre experience at venues including the Kennedy Center, Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company, and Washington Shakespeare Company, Jam brings emotional clarity, and strong listening to every role. Her improv training sharpens her comedic timing and keeps her work flexible, responsive, and alive—whether the moment calls for restraint or a spit take.

On camera, Jam’s work spans over two decades in independent film, television, hosting for The Discovery Channel and The Learning Channel, and national commercial campaigns—where her natural warmth and comedic ease do most of the work (and occasionally steal the scene).

Jam is also a voice actor with a distinctive, expressive voice, well suited to commercial, narration, and character work. Most recently, she appeared in the Disunity podcast, bringing her talents to the narrative audio space.

She gravitates toward characters who carry responsibility, tell the truth, and keep things moving forward—often with a wink and a nod. Jam values collaboration, clear storytelling, commitment, and showing up prepared, curious, and on time.

Based in Washington, D.C. Available locally and nationally.

For Remote Voice Recording, Jam records on a Tap 500 dynamic microphone with a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 interface in a fully soundproof booth, forclean, broadcast-quality audio.
