ELLE RAY JAMES | Voice Actor & Storyteller
About Me
Thanks to many years of training and practice across a diverse range vocal arts and musical styles, I specialize in vocal agility, manipulation and voice matching. Additionally, I am naturally gifted at impressions and improv; I credit this to my neurodivergence, reinforced by my love for moving an audience–something I vividly recall doing for the first time at the age of four.
Performing since then in some way or another–choir, dance classes, vocal lessons, acting and improv on stage and off–it has been my lifelong joy to connect with audiences through all these arts, which I identify as telling stories, but in ways that you might not have considered. Through these experiences, I learned there’s nothing quite like compelling audiences to laugh or cry, rage or be left with questions, wondering why.
Beyond training in singing, dancing and acting, I am self-taught in the art of using my voice for voice acting purposes. To do so, I practiced recording myself narrating books, plus my own writing, on my iPhone. Then I would critique my recordings. I unlearned cringing at hearing my own voice, and I honed my storytelling and voice acting skills until I heard quality that sounded like the narrators of my favorite audiobooks, When I finally heard that sound, I invested in myself by buying my first mic. It wasn’t long after, I felt ready to submit my first audition.
That was October 2022. Since then, I’ve been hired to voice a diverse range of characters, narrate stories, commercials and more. To hear what I can do, or to learn more about the projects I’ve worked on, click below.
