About Jimmy Shank

Voice acting wasn’t really on Jim’s radar, for a while. Voices came naturally for him, especially during playtime. All the cars, planes, guns, movement, actions – those things all got their own soundtracks, courtesy of Jim’s innate voice-acting talents.

As he grew up, this audio track extended across characters both good and evil. The need for his overactive mind to provide added entertainment, it was common for entire playtimes to sound like a warzone to the casual observer in the living room. Sorry, mom!

Growing up amidst the rise of the internet, as well as the endless advance of gaming, movies, audiobooks, and podcasts, Jim has spent years growing a long and deep-seated familiarity with character voices, voice-acting legends in the gaming industry, and the specific things that make them both funny and familiar.

Through his own life experiences, Jim began to get more and more comments, compliments, and questions about his voice-acting ability. Does he have a podcast? How about audiobooks? Has he done voicework in video games or movies?

…and the follow-up. “You should!”

Jim’s demo is the result of the experiences, the questions, and the road he’s traveled to reach this point.

Jim loves to voice-act, no matter where he is. At home, with his friends, online with strangers, even in public or at work. His voices are memorable, and easily recognizable. For now, a career in the cannabis industry supports his work taking on the voice industry from beautiful Washington State. A perfect place to find peace, and creativity, in equal measure.
