Jimmy Cunningham, Jr.

My dialects are primarily southern, urban and midwestern. I can do straight characters with gravitas, or silly whimsical characters. I can also voice old black men, young black men, and universal children's characters particularly in story telling scripts. My commercial material is often straight midwestern.

I started my experience in acting as far back as college in theater. Professionally, I worked in social services and was always asked if I was in radio because of my voice. After serving over seven years as a VOG in national conferences for the Family and Community Violence Prevention Program, I decided I wanted to do more with my voice. I have produced several commercial and audio narration pieces in the Dayton, Ohio area. In the meantime, I have been taking voiceover lessons from industry greats such as Rodney Saulsberry and Joe Loesch. My classes have been in audio narration, voice control, and intro to voiceovers. I have a home studio with microphones (Blue Yettis) and several programs loaded on my Apple computer including Twisted Wave, Pro Tools, and Reason.
