James Lamont
Hi there! I am a Toronto-based voiceover professional with several years' experience and agency representation.
I work steadily in the Toronto area and beyond and am fully Pro-Tools equipped for broadcast-quality home voice over production.
I am known and hired for my easily, accessible, warm and friendly delivery.
Also good at humorous or dry, ironic reads.
I have a Master's of Science so I can also read technical information in an accessible, easy to understand manner.
From smooth and professional, to witty and fun, I can make your spot sound the way you hear it in your head!
Dialects and characters a specialty!
I am also a professional singer!
I look forward to working with you.
Warm Regards!
