Jim Conlan       Voice-Over Artist

"Jim makes a huge contribution to our industry...not to mention he's just a nice guy!”

“I've worked with Jim in several areas ... copywriting, producer and voice talent. Jim has integrity and he also knows marketing. He is fully qualified to brand a product as well as developing a working marketing plan. His sense of humor and unique ability to communicate with it makes him an excellent copywiter. I have also used him as a voice talent - Jim teaches talent workshops! But he also knows how to apply what he teaches to himself while voiceing. Besides that, I like his mustache.”

“Jim Conlan is one of the most talented directors and voice talent in the industry. I have known him for at least 20 years, first in the capacity of voice talent, then as a client on the other side. He would and still does hire voice talent that I represent. He is also an excellent voice over coach because he has a knack for pulling and discovering qualities of your voice that you didn't even know you had. Jim makes a huge contribution to our industry...not to mention he is just a nice guy!”

"

Mari Ferguson  Actress and Acting Coach

"When I made the decision that the rest of my life would somehow involve using my voice, I wasn’t sure where to turn. But then, through Lone Star Actors Studio, I met Jim Conlan, took his 8 week Voice Acting and Announcing Skills Workshop and followed that with a number of weeks of one-on-one time in his studio. The result was a new voice-over demo that was head and shoulders above the first. Now I’m an excited, prepared, participating voice over talent because of Jim Conlan."

Ron P'Pool  Voice Talent

"I highly recommend Jim Conlan's workshop. You will be guided to produce the best possible demo highlighting your own individual strengths and talents as well as learning useful and important tips for voice overs.  Jim  makes this a tremendously fun and enjoyable experience while teaching and directing in an open, constructive and extremely supportive atmosphere.  Jim's masterful talent at producing voice overs and demos coupled with his great sense of humor, know-how and skill make him the ideal teacher to get the best out of you every time.

"My acting instructor was so impressed with the cd that he recommended me (using his name) to an agency other than the one who represents me at this time."  

Melrose Fougere  Stage actress

"Jim Conlan was recommended to me by my agent.  I had booked several voice-over jobs over the years, but I wanted to get to the next level.  Over the course of a couple months, Jim gave me the education that I had required and the confidence that I needed.  Through his patience, understanding, and talent I gained valuable knowledge and I recorded a demo reel that I am very proud to say is mine.  He worked with me to find the real me and what genres fit my personality and voice.  All I can say, if you are able to have Jim as a teacher- listen and learn.  He is the best! 

Melinda de Kay  Actress

He brings wonderful focus, attention, and humor to each project, which makes the working process a pleasure. He's your guy for writing, direction, and production of top-quality voiceovers.”

MaryBeth Smith  Life Trainer and Voice Coach

“Jim is a talented voice artist and a gifted radio script writer. His scripts are smooth, elegant, and have the touch that separates them from most everything you hear on the air.”

"I came to Jim as a novice, and through his guidance I was able to progress to the point of obtaining an agent and my first voice-over job.  Jim's knowledge, patience, and goodwill made his voice-over class both pleasurable and productive.  I can take pride in the professional demo he put together for me, and I will always appreciate his encouragement and helpful advice."

Carl Williams  Voice Talent

"My income and work load increased after Jim Conlan built my demo." 

Ron Samuels  On-Air Announcer and Voice Talent

"When I was ready to record my Demo I was looking for someone who was not only a sound engineer, but also a creative director.  Somone who could push me in the right direction.  Jim Conlan not only knows how each piece should sound based on the content, but he also has excellent taste in music; he knows what each piece requires, making the demo sound like top-quality material."

Nicky Mondellini  Actress, Model, and Voice Talent

"I have been so pleased and grateful for the fantastic work Jim Conlan did on my voice-over demo. His direction and guidance were invaluable and ultimately led to a well balanced, interesting and highly dynamic demo! I have booked a number of jobs off my demo alone and have recommended Jim to many fellow actors - and will contine to do so!"

Shelley Calene-Black  Stage Actress and Voice Talent

"Jim Conlan has an extraordinary ear that allows him to fine-tune even the best of talent to make you better.  He can quickly detect your strengths and help you create a demo that will capture a producer’s ear within seconds. His direction helps you make a good performance great! Whether you’re just getting started, or are ready to take your career to a higher level, I fully recommend Jim Conlan as THE SOURCE to help you become your personal best."  

Donna Rusch  Actress, Model, and Voice Talent

the field, Jim guided me through the process of putting together my professional calling card. He really took the time to work with me in narrowing down a variety of scripts and moods that truly showcased the individual strengths of my unique voice. Jim was much more than just a recording engineer. Due to his vast expertise in the technical elements, artistry and business of voice acting, Jim could coach me with tips and techniques to even further develop my skills. Thanks in part to the demo produced by Jim Conlan, I signed with Pastorini-Bosby Talent a few months later.
