Jessie Buckley

Jessie Buckley is an Irish actress and singer who has rapidly become one of the most acclaimed performers of her generation. Born in Killarney, County Kerry, she first came to public attention as a finalist on the BBC talent show I'd Do Anything in 2008, before training at RADA and launching a career that has earned her an Academy Award nomination. Buckley's film credits include Wild Rose, I'm Thinking of Ending Things, The Lost Daughter, Women Talking, and Men. Her Oscar nomination came for The Lost Daughter in 2022. On television, she has starred in War & Peace, Taboo, Chernobyl, and Fargo. On stage, she received an Olivier Award nomination for Cabaret in the West End. Buckley is known for her emotional intensity, her ability to disappear into characters, and her extraordinary vocal ability — she can sing as powerfully as she acts, as demonstrated in Wild Rose. As an audiobook narrator, Buckley brings an Irish-accented voice of remarkable warmth and depth. Her musical training gives her exceptional ear for rhythm and phrasing, and her dramatic range allows her to handle everything from quiet intimacy to explosive emotional moments. She approaches narration with the same total commitment she brings to her screen and stage roles. For listeners who value emotional authenticity and vocal beauty in their narration, Jessie Buckley offers performances of real power. Her relatively young career has already demonstrated a breadth and depth that promises many more exceptional performances to come.
