James Arnold Taylor's Talking to Myself The Podcast James Arnold Taylor

It's no exaggeration to say that this podcast is one of the best things to have happened to me in my life! I listen to a few other podcasts, but this one stands out way above any of the others I've tried.

Like many people, I first discovered James Arnold Taylor from the Clone Wars, having fallen in love with the voice of Obi Wan Kenobi. And I then discovered that he does so many other voices too, in the Star Wars universe and other animation series, movies and video games too!

I then discovered that JAT (as he is known) has a vast array of videos, vlogs, interviews, mini films, documentaries, etc, on his YouTube channel, AND this freely-available, ad-free podcast, which I find so uplifting, entertaining and inspiring to listen to.

JAT's vocal range and skills are amazing! As a singer and former vocal coach myself, I recognize his incredibly musical ear, in his ability to mimic other people's voices so perfectly. And, as a Brit, I'm really impressed with his British accent especially when portraying Obi Wan Kenobi. He has a beautiful singing voice too, and is amazing at improv, creating a wide range of characters on the spot! And more than this, he is such a sweet, delightful and inspiring person!!

This podcast invites you into JAT's daily life, and his fascinating experiences as a voice actor, and allows you to witness the wonderful person he is in real life. It's really worth diving into all the episodes from the beginning... I started with the most recent and am working my way backwards through the years of content!

He provides a wonderful mixture of some fun, entertaining sections, with all the voice characters he's created, but also some deep, philosophical, reflective sections too, which I love. He opens up about his faith and spirituality, and does it in a way that is inclusive to all of us whether we are of the same spiritual beliefs or not. And, it is family friendly, with nothing but wholesome content.

James is so encouraging, warm and generous, offering many moments of meditation, mindfulness and positive affirmations. I'm finding this podcast to be a refreshing, uplifting way to get me through my day, while driving, cooking or doing chores around the house.

More than this, it is actually helping me in a concrete way to deal with my clinical anxiety - I'm finding that JAT's soothing voice, deep breathing reminders, and genuine, caring encouragement keep me grounded and calm, more than most other techniques I've tried. Thank you, JAT, for being a positive light in this world. Blessings and love to you!

No matter how bad of a day I’m having, I can always count on JAT to brighten things up. His calm energy and talent is unmatched. JAT’s discussions about life, work, and faith is my chicken soup for my soul. I can’t help but smile while listening and for hours afterwards. I’m so glad JAT is making this show.

I’ve never been one to listen to podcasts with episodes over 30 mins but I must say James Arnold Taylor will always be an exception to that rule. When I discovered one of my favorite voice actors had a podcast I wasted no time diving right in. Each episode is so enjoyable to listen to (always with a big cup of water XD) and his insights and openness about his faith in God is always really encouraging to hear from someone working in his industry. God bless you brother in Christ :)
