About James

Member sinceOct 5, 2005

I am a professional singer/actor and have had several voice over jobs for commercials and video games so I've used my voice in just about every way possible. I can speak German and Spanish as second languages and am comfortable with many dialects including Spanish, German, Russian, Irish, Scottish, English, Indian (India), French, Regional USA, Scandinavian, Japanese etc. I have a large and flexible vocal range and can sing and speak in just about any tone, color, or personality you can imagine: Sexy, Innocent, Powerful, Breathy, Sly, Wicked, Crusty, Earthy, Aristocratic, Decrepid, Enthusiastic, Wild - you name it. I also love sound effects of all kinds and can play any type of character from realistic to fantastical. I've sung or spoken the voices of Giant Pigs, Birdmen, Dragons, Santa Claus, Lovers, Fighters, Diplomats, Kings, Stage Mothers, Fathers, Criminals, Celebrities, Puppets, Grasshopper Professors, Sherlock Holmes, Pirates, Monsters, Wizards, and Warriors to name a few. I can also do impressions of famous people.
