A serious voice . . .

Jim Seybert’s narration performances have earned him 2 SOVAS nominations and 2 Earphone Awards. His “serious voice with a twinkle in its eye” has recorded more than 100 books for Penguin Random House, Harper Collins, Hachette, Audible, Blackstone, Dreamscape, Recorded Books, and Tantor, as well as smaller houses, and independent authors in categories ranging from historical/narrative fiction to religion and critical social issues. Jim is member of SAGAFTRA (serving on the National Audiobook Steering Committee), he sits on the Research Committee of the Audiobook Publishers Association, is the long-time PA Announcer for a collegiate Summer baseball league, and the occasional host of some rather unusual sporting events (see below) on ESPN Ocho.

… with a twinkle in its eye.

In the summer of 2021, I was referred to as “The Voice of Stone Skipping on ESPN” when I co-hosted (along with my friend, the hilarious Johnny Heller) the International Stone Skipping Championships, produced by GoSportsLIVE. Here’s a clip of the winning toss – you won’t believe how many skips he threw.
