"Small Town" Guy, "Big City" Voices
I am a New York based voice actor for commercial, animation, and video game work. My natural commercial reads have been described as warm, inviting and conversational with a youthful, natural deep resonance, but am capable of more energetic comedic reads as well as serious, authoritative and informative reads depending on target audience.
For character work my natural range is low to high medium range, leading itself itself towards "heroic", "protagonist" "best friend/ boy next door" or "nerdy characters." These characters usually age from early teens to late 30's.
I also have a range of deeper tones useful for larger and older characters with strong projection and vocal presence, with larger than average builds or characters with strong sense of authority, I can add texture and rasp and smooth, calm tones that can be pushed further for more aggressive, older, classy, serious and/or confident protagonists, devilish antagonists, burly monsters or mysterious anti-heroes.
At my higher ranges I perform voices perfect for squash and stretch animation and other productions that target younger audiences. From squeaky, cute, raspy, or soft voices for expressing quirky, timid, friendly or energetic characters like young teens, small creatures or magical talking animals, I can comfortably create them all.
Accents range from neutral US American to US New England accent (NYC), US southern and African American / urban accent as well as English RP accent.
10 year voiceover experience in animation, games, audio plays, comic books, and more. please visit www.jamesbrownjrva for more information and list of some of the work I've done.
