James Caran
I can switch between classical voice and contemporary, equally capable of sounding like a singer of the 1940s a la Bing Crosby and Perry Como as I am singing classical music, children's songs, and cartoon theme music.
Formation
Studied classical voice with Mimi Lerner, Mark Moliterno, and Valentina Gagen, performed widely in Eastern Europe in the 2010s in opera and operetta, and cut my teeth as a studio singer with animation studio "Peterburg" from 2017-2022
Expérience
I adapted all the songs from season 4 of the early-education children's cartoon "Baby Riki" from Russian language into English for a Chinese early-education company - 53 songs total. This project involved not just translating, but maintaining the rhythmic structures, rhyme schemes, and melodic structure (almost note-for-note) of the Russian originals when adapting into English. I've also recorded vocals for the theme song of the cartoon "Super Meow", voice overs for various projects through Lucky Productions and animation studio "Da"
Particularités
Singing, editing lyrics
