About James

Hello! I’m James Blackmore, an audiobook narrator based in the Greater Toronto Area.

My narration journey started with me as a fan of audiobooks. I discovered them in 2018 on long road trips for work and really got into how the narrator could bring the entire book and all its characters to life. I started reading and recording myself at home, wondering if I could ever deliver the same types of experiences my favorite audiobook narrators did.

Eventually I decided to just dive in. I have a background in public speaking, a knack for character voices and accents, a love for acting and performance, a passion for great stories and characters, and a technical background in audio engineering. I narrated my first book over the Christmas break in 2024 and never looked back.

When I’m not in the booth, I’m usually spending time with my wife and three boys, exploring nature, gaming, or learning something new.

If you’re an author or producer looking for a dedicated, versatile narrator with a clear, expressive voice and a professional production setup, I’d love to work together.

Drew Avera

“Working with James on the audiobook was a pleasure. I was able to actively contribute when required, and also allow him to do what he does so well. I very much hope to work again with him in the future, and would genuinely recommend his services to anyone looking for a narrator.”



W. Bradley Danbrook

“I enlisted the services of Mr. Blackmore to narrate my book, and he exceeded my expectations by breathing life into each character! His narration transformed the book into a captivating experience. He genuinely captured the essence of every character’s desires, skillfully altering his voice to convey their words. His acting talent is truly remarkable. I wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Blackmore without reservation.”

Cheryl E. Fernandez

“James was so easy to work with! I’d thought I’d sent too much background at first about all the character voices and translations but he appreciated everything I sent. James also has a quick turn around time which I was really surprised about (and loved).”
