01 — Introduction
About C. James
Some day, you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again. - C.S. Lewis
Theatre came first for me: high school plays, college acting classes, then an apprenticeship at London's Globe Theatre while studying abroad with James Madison University. When the 2008 crash hit, I had to switch gears to earn a living, so I taught myself to code and built a 17-year career in tech. Through all of it, stories stayed at the center of my life: a way to share joy, learn lessons and make sense of everything life brings as we grow. When we welcomed two boys into the world during COVID, I realized the best way to help them chase their dreams was to show them what it takes to go after mine. So here I am, building the dream.
I began my voice career in straight narration and I'm now expanding into full production: music, sound design and effects layered beneath the voice, so listeners don't just hear the story, they're drawn into it. The magic happens in a treated booth in Northern Colorado, where I spend my off-mic hours riding my horse, Sly, and learning the ropes (literally) as a rookie ranch hand. I believe collaboration is at the heart of every great story, so I welcome your notes, revisions and feedback. Your story deserves to be told exactly the way you want it heard, however many takes that requires.

04 — Studio
My studio lives in a quiet, insulated 6-foot booth in Northern Colorado. I record on a FIFINE K668 USB condenser mic (a rugged, versatile little workhorse) paired with a MacBook Pro and Audacity. Simple tools, careful hands, and every file cleaned up in post so what lands in your inbox is close, warm, and broadcast ready.
