01 — Introduction
About C. James
Some day, you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again. - C.S. Lewis
Theatre was always the calling, the one that took me through college level acting and apprenticeship at London's Globe Theatre while studying at James Madison University. Then 2008 happened, the market crashed, I taught myself to code and a 17-year tech career took its place almost by accident. Through it all, stories and literature were always my source of comfort, inspiration and motivation. They served as a way to process experiences that were too nuanced or difficult to process out loud. So when my two boys started watching me a little more closely, waiting to see what I'd do with my life, I realized I couldn't keep telling them to chase their dreams while I quietly parked mine. So here I am, chasing the damn dream.
I'm new to the narration scene, but I'm not new to the stage. These days I'm diving into fantasy, thrillers, and romantasy; genres that let me tap back into my formal training, all recorded from a cozy home studio in Northern Colorado, where I split my non-booth hours riding my horse, Sly, and learning the ropes (literally) as a rookie ranch hand.
I bring the same grit and hustle that got me through a market crash, a career pivot, and raising two boys into every session, along with an ego that's big enough to believe we can do great things, while being small enough to take direction well. I love notes, I love revisions, and I want your story told exactly the way you want it experienced by the world, however many takes that requires.
