Joe Zieja is the voice behind some of gaming and animation’s most iconic characters, including Bumblebee in Transformers, Claude von Riegan in Fire Emblem: Three Houses, and Fox McCloud in Star Fox Zero: The Battle Begins. A lifelong gamer and self-professed RPG addict, Joe brings genuine passion to every role—whether he’s leading a house of misfits at Garreg Mach or barrel-rolling through the Lylat system. He’s also heard as Wriothesley in Genshin Impact, Raphica in Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment, and Wolf in Destiny Rising among many other roles in games, animation, and anime.
Before stepping into the booth, Joe served as an Air Force intelligence officer, which he insists is far less exciting than it sounds. He traded in the uniform for a microphone and never looked back, building a voice acting career the scrappy way—no formal training, only relentless work and experimentation. He now is the CEO of LearnVoiceActing.com as well, with a mission to make voice acting training accessible and empowering for anyone, anywhere.
When he’s not recording, Joe can usually be found gaming, remixing video game music, exploring ancient mythology, or writing novels like his Amazon bestseller EPIC FAILURE trilogy, published by Simon and Schuster. He’s thrilled to meet fans, swap gaming stories, and sign whatever you put in front of him (within reason).
