James Shechet

Modern Day Voice Over Artist & Performer

I’m an American born, half-Chinese voice actor. With over two decades of global experience as both a performer and business professional in the entertainment industry, I offer the business acumen, creativity, and versatility needed for any project.

I’m best known for my casual, warm, and introspective voice style… mixed with a dynamic range of fun characters. I work with clients globally from my professional broadcast quality home studio for animation, youtube channels, commercials, webcomics, podcasts, and more.

I am method-trained and have performed in diverse venues including local theaters, parks, cathedrals across Europe and South America, college campuses nationwide, and the Walt Disney Concert Hall.
