About James Brownold

James Brownold is largely retired from doing voiceovers. This is evidenced by the lack of calls he gets from his agent. Prior to reading other people's words for money, he worked at several ratio stations from WALL Middletown NY, to WPLJ in Manhattan, writing and acting in commercials and comedy bits. Jim has been a part of various improv and comedy groups and was voted the "Funniest Person in Broadcasting" at the StandUp NY comedy club.

Currently he teaches improvisation for Westchester Community Theater, and Westchester Community College. With Linda Hendrick, Jim also sings at senior facilities as "Senior Moments." Thanks to being quarantined, he's recently had the time and the inspiration (crippling boredom) to start writing again.
