- HERE'S A LITTLE ABOUT ME AND MY VOICE OVER EXPERIENCE
- James Herron is an accomplished Voice Actor noted for versatility and his smooth sincere and warm voice. He is also well known for his Sam Elliott impersonation which is regarded as "dead-on".
His voice acting has proven time and again ideal clients such as; PBS, LionsGate Films, Lockheed Martin, Intel, Comcast, Altec-Lansing, Brown University, Case Western Reserve, The University of Michigan along with non-profit organizations and museums worldwide.
James is a Telly Award Winner and was a 2008 Voicey Award Finalist - Best Male Voice
He began his professional career as a Voice Actor in 1973. He could be heard on the air at some of the nation’s most exciting and successful radio stations including: Boston, Chicago, Denver, Houston, San Francisco, Washington D.C. and in Denver at the legendary KIMN-AM/FM.
Tall, wiry James Herron is an ordinary American with an extraordinary voice. Herron was born in Cleveland Ohio in 1952 to an elementary school teacher mother and a father who was an aviator. James spent the majority of his childhood and teenage years in Maryland with his family where he graduated from Charles W. Woodward High School. He went on to attend Montgomery College. During that time, Herron began working at a small radio station. Soon after, family and critics encouraged James to become a professional Bocce Ball player but staying true to his rebellious spirit he instead continued the path to become a voice actor.
Herron is a featured voice actor for America's finest recording and production facilities including The Soundtrack Group Boston and New York. James is regularly contracted by some of the nation’s largest advertising agencies, film studios, and direct and worldwide clientele.
James is often called to Boston, New York, Philadelphia and Washington D.C. but works primarily out of his state of the art recording studio.

A Proud Tree Hugger
