VOCAL EXPERIENCE

Jacob Sidney has provided voice talent for audio plays, video games, live announcing, and TV dubbing (dramatic narrative).

Onstage, Jacob has played Sherlock Holmes, George in Of Mice and Men (“nimble, physically and verbally, even waxing poetic at times” - The Times of San Diego), and Julian in Uncanny Valley (“a tour de force” - LA Times); as well as Hamlet, Peer Gynt, Jekyll & Hyde, and many other great roles from classic to contemporary.

A classically trained baritone with a long choral career, he stays connected to music by singing jazz, rockabilly, pop, and more whenever he can.

GENERAL BACKGROUND

Jacob is an experienced bartender trained in classic cocktails, with a taste for contemporary flavor profiles and techniques. An avid home cook, he specializes in grilled seafood and sourdough baking, including a weekly scratch pizza for his wife and teenage daughter.

He spent many years in the Boy Scouts, gaining experience in wilderness survival in the Grand Canyon and Olympic Peninsula; and now backpacks, kayaks, fishes, and camps with his family as often as possible. Part of his childhood spent in Santa Fe, New Mexico gave him facility with Chicano Spanish and a deep love of roasted green chiles and sopaipillas.

A lifelong fan of the music and sports of his hometown of Seattle, he collects vinyl and unique memorabilia. Fascination with the history of the area culminated in the solo show No Better Man, telling the life story of Seattle founder Doc Maynard.

Jacob is also five years into a regular Dungeons & Dragons campaign with his oldest friends.
