James Lorenz - NY based voiceover artist

Profile Information

I WORK IN THE VOICE OVER INDUSTRY AS A(N): Voice Actor

HERE'S A LITTLE ABOUT ME AND MY VOICE OVER EXPERIENCE: In reality, I guess I could say I have close to 10 years experience in voiceovers. But I choose to use October 2005 as the moment when I decided to try and make a career of it.

Previous to that date, I was involved in numerous projects in my role as an audio/visual technician.

Voice of God (VOG) for live events - Announcements and introductions of various speakers and award winners.
Live commercial reads - Annual Hamlet Cup Tennis Tournament. Live commercial P.A. reads.
Studio voiceovers - Various reads for our in-house production department. Mostly introductions and award winner announcements.

After a while I realized that voiceovers might be for me and I began to persue the training necessary to advance in the field. That training continues to this day and helped me become a full-time voice actor in October 2007.
Clients include:
The Dime Savings Bank
Brother International
Microsoft
Boar's Head
Seagrams
North Shore LIJ
LIPA
and more...

RECENTLY BOOKED PROJECTS: Dime Savings Bank
Brother International
North Shore LIJ
Prudential
Astoria Federal

VOICE DESCRIPTION: Friendly
Upbeat
Guy Next Door
Words that describe not only my voice, but myself as a person. A voice actors most natural voice is the essence of who he or she is. As an eternal optimist with a steady smile on my face, this is who I am.

Manic
Over the Top
Energetic
I'm easily enthused and excited and while I have learned to keep myself in check, I love being able to let loose in a read.

Confident
Firm
Authoritative
Somewhere between the first two, this is a restraining of excitement to form a concise, focused message with a motivational energy.

Smooth
Sincere
Heartfelt
The most challenging yet most rewarding reads for me. I love reaching that emotional level in a performance.

Now...if you're looking for a deep voiced movie trailer guy voice...that's not me! :)

Commercials, Narration, Audiobooks, Corporate Promos, Telephone Services (IVR) and more.

Let me create an original character for your Animation or Videogames. Check out my multiple demos featuring my many voices and characters.

I'm a full-time NY based voice actor with a flexible schedule to guarantee a friendly, professional experience.

My fully equipped, professional recording studio guarantees a great finished product.

I was initially concerned about tackling an audio book—a project that requires so much time and feedback—with an actor long-distance, and with someone I’d never met face-to-face. James Lorenz made it easy for me.
James owned the project from start to finish. He brought good ideas to the table that made the end result better, helped set up a system for sending big audio files back and forth, took my email comments and without a blink incorporated my ideas into his performances, and never hesitated when I asked to him redo something.
James’s voice sounds great, and the sound quality of his recordings are at least as good if not better than the other audio books I have on my bookshelf.
James was a pro at every turn. I would recommend James without hesitation for your voice acting or voiceover needs.

At 11:37am on July 20, 2009, Celena Arter said…: I checked out your blog and it is GREAT! I especially like how organized you are with easy access to articles of interest. Hats off on a well-organized blog. I'm gonna feed it! The article on NY accents was interesting and I can confirm that some of that goes to Baltimore--I lived in MD most of my life near DC but I never heard "youse" until I met a native Baltimorian. I about fell over when I heard her say "Sees youse all later." She had been "normal" up until that point so it caught a lot of us off guard when she said that. She wasn't joking; she was sincere! My biggest problem in PA is that they "let" and "rid up" which drives me insane! I work on "our" because I have a habit of "are." I have to think "hour" when I hit an "our." I guess weez all have our problems to correct! Again, great blog and I look forward to reading it!
