In memory of James Fowler Meyers (June 7, 1947 — January 23, 2010)

I am heart-broken to hear of the passing of James Meyers. James was one of my prized Voice Over students over a year ago. Not only did he do an amazing job behind the mic, I was also moved by his passion for creating radio drama in the style of those grand, 1940 radio days.

He brought his portable recording equipment to class one day and recorded sound affects and crowd noises with me and his classmates. We had a ball and were equally entertained by his final product. We’ve lost a true artist, arts enthusiast and gentleman. I’ll treasure his memory.
If anyone is interested, you can hear a sample of James voice over work that he did at a recording studio as part of his training with me. I think you’ll agree. He had a gift.   Click here to listen to the work James did in my class.  http://Jamesfmeyers.4shared.com/
