You're Popping - Jim Meskimen

Vocal genius Jim Meskimen is my guest this week all the way from LA. Having dazzled us with his impressions and techniques on Making An Impression, here Jim talks about his life behind the microphone as a voice actor, covering some of the issues he's faced over his 30+ years as a pro. Like finding fifty character voices for an audio book. And doing female voices convincingly. Jim also discusses his favourite and weirdest gigs, how to voice a 'genuine' character and managing superstar egos in the booth. Plenty of great voices, insights and lots of laughs.
