I WORK IN THE VOICE OVER INDUSTRY AS A(N)
Voice Actor
HERE'S A LITTLE ABOUT ME AND MY VOICE OVER EXPERIENCE
James Eastman began his career on stage at the age of seven. Through the years, Eastman continued to act in theater, then took on the highly demanding responsibilities of producing, directing, and coaching.
Radio opportunities provided a unique insight of learning the broadcasting business. James found himself writing copy and voicing commercials. For him, it was theater on a tiny stage but with a vastly bigger audience.
Having a critical ear, creating sound design came very naturally for Eastman and he richly exploited that talent in his theatrical work, radio broadcasts, and in movies for which he is presently nominated for an award in Sound Design.
For the past 12 years, James Eastman has been the consummate voice actor appearing in hundreds of computer animated features made by independent studios from around the world.

VOICE DESCRIPTION
J a m e s E a s t m a n
is not just any voice. He is a personality!
There are thousands of voices, many sounding exactly the same, as though they have been cloned and pushed out of some cookie-cutter factory. Practically, anybody will do if you are looking for just a voice....... but you aren't looking for just a voice. You are looking for "personality". That is what James Eastman brings to the microphone. Personality. Distinctive, personality.

Bettye Zoller
Thanks for taking a moment to ride the Polar Express with me! I appreciate your kind words. I enjoyed listening to your video game characters! You bring great personality to them without being stilted or overdone as sometimes they can be. Great work!
Linda
Many thanks for the kind kudos!
It looks like you are keeping busy with all kinds of v/o projects and it would be
great to share a mic and trade quips on some fun copy down the road!
Wishing you continued success, James.
