Jim is always my first choice.  Far from simply reading the words, he quickly understands the subject matter and finds the right tone for the subject at hand.  I never worry about the finished product. Tom Martin, President, Martin Communications, Inc. http://martincommunicationsinc.com/ * Jim. Just what the client had in mind. Classy. Subtle. Soft sell with sizzle. Ear catching in a world that screams.  Different and unique. Just GREAT!!! It's what YOU do BEST! Michael Neff, Strategic Media Services Independent Consultant for Radio Station Start-Ups and Formatic Enhancement * Jim and I worked together in broadcasting, where his overall audio production techniques would shine. I also enjoyed producing Jim’s voiceover work at FL&L. His distinct tone and smooth, accurate delivery complements any project.
