about j.m.
Here’s a little about me: I believe that fostering positive human relationships and connection is one of the most important uses of our finite time, and I think voice acting is one of the best ways to do that.
I am professionally trained, highly directable, have good instincts, and care passionately about the service I provide. My commitment to you is to always strive to be the most responsive, hardworking, creative, interesting and fun voice actor I can be. I’m not for everybody, but I just might be for you.
I am first and foremost an actor. To that end, I am chiefly concerned with, as Sanford Meisner says: “behaving truthfully under imaginary circumstances.”
I was not born an actor, hatching onto a stage like so many of my colleagues. I did do some stage acting early on in my young adult life, but I succumbed to the lie that acting isn’t a “real” job. Voice acting saved my sanity in many ways, leading me back to a passion that I thought was dead and buried. In the meantime, I gathered much in the way of experiences and education: Foreign language degrees, teaching, professional pilot, tall ship sailor, US Navy veteran/Arabic crypto-linguist, 1830’s living history, and more.
Let’s get together and create something great!

My position on A.I. / Synthetic Voice / Voice Cloning
You may notice that in the age of AI, I am not a subscriber. I reject the notion that “It’s here to stay after all, and if you can’t beat ’em, join ’em! Why not profit from it?” I can’t do that, because I reject the phony. I reject ersatz, the same as I would reject sawdust in my sausage. Because I care: I care about authenticity. I care about the human element in voice acting. I think there is inherent value – value in and of itself – in human-crafted art. I connect to the listener – personally. I speak from a point of view informed by memory, experience and all the stuff that goes with it – something a machine can’t do, I don’t care how well it can mimic.
