What happens when a love of storytelling takes you from the stage to the screen and eventually behind the microphone? If you're James D. Sasser, it means building a career filled with creativity, collaboration, and plenty of opportunities to bring stories to life!
This week on the Audiobook Lovin’ Podcast, I'm welcoming James D. Sasser, an award-winning writer, actor, narrator, producer, director, and educator whose career spans Broadway, television, and voiceover.
But James's journey into the performing arts started long before his many professional accomplishments.
Born in Tokyo, Japan, to Air Force parents, James grew up in West Germany and Northern California. His first professional career began as a boy soprano, setting the stage for a lifelong connection to music, performance, and storytelling.
His educational background includes a Bachelor of Music in Vocal Performance from Manhattan School of Music, the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art Summer Intensive, and an MFA from NYU Tisch's Graduate Musical Theatre Writing Program.
Talk about a creative journey!
Wearing Many Creative Hats
James has explored storytelling from just about every angle. Whether he's performing, writing, directing, producing, or narrating, his work reflects a passion for bringing creative ideas and stories to life.
In our conversation, we explore his love for the arts, the experiences that helped shape his career, and what it's like moving between so many different creative disciplines.
We also dive into audiobook narration, how his background in performance influences his work behind the microphone, and the unique perspective he brings to storytelling.
And, of course, we have a little fun along the way!
Join us as we get to know James D. Sasser and discover what continues to fuel his passion for the arts.
