James began training and performing as a ventriloquist, magician, mime and public speaker with a travelling performance troop based in Chautauqua, N.Y. at the age of 13. He continued for 5 years, training, performing live throughout parts of the United States and also coaching others new to the troop.
James would later attend Recording Arts Canada where he graduated with a diploma in Audio Engineering and Music Production and later worked as a teacher’s assistant. RAC’s program included a course on voice over. James wrote commercial scripts, performed, recorded, edited and mastered them and also trained in dubbing and audio / video sync.
James has worked with DAW’s Pro Tools, Digital Performer, Cubase, Nuendo, Reason, Tracktion, Reaper, but prefers Ardour for his home studio.
James’ home studio is also used for post production work providing field recording, sound effects, and foley.
