A lifetime full of voices is channeled into unforgettable performances from award-winning narrator, Jim Patton – voices from his boyhood in Colorado, his hitchhiking travels across the US and Europe, his work adventures in Africa, the Middle East, and South America. From the many lives he has lived, he resonates with stories that showcase the main character’s life transitions, the hero’s journey.

Acting has been in Jim’s blood from his boyhood, from his high school theater days, from his role as Hamlet in college, to his performances in over 20 audio dramas. He is known for a classically American vocal tone, a wide range of vocal ages, and an ability to portray imaginative quirky characters.
Why audiobooks? In the theater, audience engagement ranges from none (a first rehearsal table read) to full-on (final performance replete with audience reactions). Audience engagement in audiobooks can also range from none (simply saying the words) to nearly full-on (a multi-cast, albeit without audience reaction). No where else can a single performer achieve almost full-on audience engagement alone. That is Jim’s goal, and it is what makes narration and character portrayal so satisfying to him.
