Bio
Jessica Tillman is a Black American actress, voice artist, and print model who thrives on stories that challenge perspectives, spark meaningful conversations, and leave a lasting impact. Born and raised in Charlotte, North Carolina, she is the youngest of two daughters. Jessica made her television debut on the FX series Atlanta as Christina, Van’s childhood friend, marking a milestone in her acting career.
Jessica’s passion for acting began in high school when she performed in the three-woman play Eleemosynary, an experience that sparked her love for the craft. Years later, after taking a transformative Landmark Education course in New York City, she realized she wasn’t fully embracing her creative aspirations. By changing her narrative and owning her dream to act, Jessica set out on a bold journey to pursue her passion.
A graduate of Winston-Salem State University with a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science, Jessica is also a proud member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. She earned her Master’s degree in Teaching English as a Second Language (ESL) from SIT Graduate Institute in Vermont, completing a teaching internship at Manhattan International Public High School in New York City.
Jessica spent seven years in New York refining her skills in luxury retail, specializing in sales, merchandising, and client relationships. In 2013, she committed to formal acting training at T. Schreiber Studio and Theatre (TSS), completing the One-Year Conservatory Program in 2015.
Her journey into voiceover began after booking two major commercial spots for Duke Energy. Inspired to deepen her skills, Jessica started training at Groundcrew Sound in Charlotte, where she participated in masterclass workshops and took private voiceover coaching to refine her technique.
Represented by Alexander White Agency (ATL & LA) for TV/Film, Commercials, and Print Modeling, Jessica also works with Big Mouth Talent (Chicago) and BAC Talent Management (NY & LA) for Voice Acting.
