James finally broke into freelance voiceover and voice acting in 2016 by doing a commercial for a local limousine company. Originally a musician, James played in numerous bands on both coasts of the US, cutting his teeth in the recording studio and on stage with bands like Eristic Illusion, Astral Kitchen, and Junkyard Academy. Since he was 16, however, people kept commenting on his voice: "You should be an announcer", "You should go into radio". He tried the radio thing. Not his thing. Since then, his gritty, warm baritone has graced dozens of commercials and a couple of audiobooks, replete with characters, accents, and decibels.
