Joe Zieja

Joe Zieja (born January 16, 1985 in Sparta, New Jersey) is an American voice actor, novelist, and musician. Based in Los Angeles, he is affiliated with various companies like Bang Zoom! Entertainment and Atlas Talent. He is married and has two daughters.

Zieja grew up in a suburban town where he and his younger brother were raised by their firefighter father and business-oriented mother. At the age of 13, he expressed his desire to one day join the United States Air Force Academy much to the surprise of his family. After graduating from high school in 2003, he went on to become an Air Force officer. He spent 9 years serving until realizing the occupation was not what he truly wanted.

Although Zieja was able to leave his military past behind by briefly working as a contractor for several government groups, he did not consider voice acting as a possible career until a friend paid him to do it. This convinced him to leave Virginia in favor of residing in California where voice over opportunities were more abundant. Since then, he has striven to make a name for himself in the dubbing industry, eventually gaining recognition for his roles in numerous role-playing games.

Like his fans, Zieja is a gamer who regularly streams his gaming experiences on social media. He also penned his own trilogy of sci-fi military novels called Epic Failure. Being skilled at playing the saxophone, he has released fan covers of music tracks from different games. His other skills include whistling, flying planes, and scuba diving.

Zieja is adept at performing various roles, having voiced heroic or antagonistic figures with distinct traits. He has lent his performances to Ibara Obami in Kakegurui, Kurt Vander in The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel series, and Issei Hoshino in Lost Judgment.
