Bio

Audio production, video editing and voice over have been part of James's life since he was about 12 years old, when he literally taught himself how to edit music with a grease pencil, razor blade and 3M Scotch tape.

For more than 40 years James worked as a professional magician with many of his award-winning performances perfectly synchronized to music. His performing and audio skills let him to a 25-year career with NBC television in San Diego during which he received 11 Emmy awards for audio production and sound design.

As an Emmy winning audio producer director and copywriter James has been providing award-winning sound design and audio production for more than six decades. He is familiar with all areas of television production and has designed two TV audio control rooms, a TV remote audio truck and more than a dozen professional sound treated home studios for voiceover recording.

His book, "The Art of Voice Acting" teaches the craft and business of VoiceOver and is a theater arts textbook at dozens of Universities in the US, the UK and China.
