James W. May

Hello! I am a Canadian American narrator, audiobook producer, and former professor with thirty years of teaching, public speaking, and audio production experience in the US and Canada.

With versatile range and rich characterization across narrative, literary, and genre fiction, I provide thoughtful and embodied storytelling that--first and always--serves your story, characters, and narrative arc. I am versed in multiple regional North American dialects and my nonfiction work has been described by authors and reviewers as conversational, warm, relatable, inspirational, rich, and soothing.

I additionally provide professional editorial services and supports upon request, having served as a copyeditor for three academic and literary journals, to guarantee industry standard record-ready manuscript.

Your manuscript is recorded with state-of-the-art hardware and software at my treated studio on the Pacific Coast of Canada, Coast Salish Territories. Your audio files are delivered/uploaded to full industry specs in a professional, courteous, and timely manner.
