"AMAZING TURNAROUND WITH WORLD-CLASS SOUND!! I ONLY WISH I COULD GIVE YOU 6 STARS INSTEAD OF 5!! " -Ryan

My regular commercial client list includes names like Live Nation Global Touring and being their “go to” voice for major tours from Garth Brooks to Michael Bubl, from Broadway to Tony Bennett. I also have had the honor of voicing for All Major US Television Networks (ABC, CBS, Fox etc), Toyota National Campaigns, Russell Peters, Fox Sports One, Mercedes Benz, Ford/Chevy/Dodge/Hyundai/KIA and dozens of others.

My corporate client list includes Google, IBM, Santander, American Express, Tyco Electronics, Lixil Group Japan, A.T Kearney Global Medical, Walmart, Honda and more.


E-Learing and Training continues to surprise me with incredible growth for recent clients such as Citibank (Citi), WSO2 Data Analytics, American Heart Association, Adobe, VAC Environmental Services, Addiction Studies Institute, U.I Lapp GmbH, Siemens

I look forward to making your project shine and will work hard to help you in any way I can to come in under time and within budget.

“IS THERE ANY TYPE OF VOICE STYLE YOU CAN’T DO??!”

I enjoy the label of having a “chameleon” type of voice versatility. Powerful to smooth as silk or just your friendly guy next door. Commercial, promo, internal corporate, sales, imaging. Whatever message you need conveyed, I have the years of experience and drive to make your voiceover exactly what it should be, a bridge between product and emotion that makes you lean forward and listen.

I am very fortunate to be doing a job that I love so much and can honestly say, that not a day goes by that I am not thankful for being able to work and creatively play at the same time.

Look forward to working with you soon.

 Formazione

I don't think as an actor, you ever really stop. :) I have worked with some of the best voice coaches in the industry. Coaches that only work with established talent with an active thriving career in our industry. I still believe my best training is decades of active working jobs for some of the world's most recognizable brands.

 Esperienza

From an industry article published about James, "We actually tried to figure out the number of projects James has voiced over his multi-decade career in voiceovers. Give or take 5 or 10, the total came to roughly over 100,000. That's quite a lot of experience. We'd say he "gets it".

Still, some jobs will always stay with James on his wall of greatest achievements. Such as being selected by Garth Brooks himself to be the voice of his Global Comeback Tour that went on to be the highest-grossing concert tour in music history.

James's greatest achievement, however, is his charity work voicing projects for free to help causes close to his heart such as homeless shelters around the US and groups feeding and protecting "high trafficking risk" children of Columbia.

I do sing in the shower, does that count? :). Have a wonderful day and I look forward to working with you. - James
