Jim has performed and recorded for national commercials and network television, live theater and Hollywood films, intimate clubs and sold out stadiums. A member of SAG-AFTRA, he delivers broadcast ready vocals from his private studio for clients worldwide.
Jim also guides aspiring singers, including teaching the Jazz and Standards vocal track at The Collective School of Music, as well as one on one voice coaching.
Jim provided the vocal in two scenes of Robert DeNiro's film "The Good Shepherd" featuring Angelina Jolie and Matt Damon. From Universal Films with music direction by Wrecking Crew keyboardist Mike Melvoin.
The call from AGT was for a "Fred Astaire type voice" for the dance group Hype. This spot also features the great Tony Kadleck on trumpet.
"The Snack That Smiles Back!" campaign that featured Jim's vocal tag on each commercial in the series ran for 10+ years. A Duotone Audio Group production.
It was uncommon to do both the vocal and VO tag for national commercials but that is what's happening in this spot for AARP. A Duotone Audio Group production.
A Haribo spot pulling double duty, this time on drums and vocals.
“Jim is what is known in our business as "first call", Simply, once you have hired Jim your worries about a vocal performance are over and his creativity and ease will give you value added you may not even know you need until you hear him. A great mix of high craft and organic art. He is a pleasure to work with. A world class super-pro. His performance for me on the music for Robert DiNiro's film "The Good Shepherd" was excellent in every way."
Mike Melvoin (The Wrecking Crew)
"Jim is one of the most talented and versatile people I've worked with. From song parodies to national TV jingles, he's always delivered."
Cliff Pia CCO - CreativeDrive
"Jim Mola's remarkable and unique vocal style have made the difference in the recording and eventual final production of many music pieces I have delivered to varied clients over the years. He is also capable of emulating the voices of diverse classic vocalists like Frank Sinatra and Sting. A pleasure to work with - always a good feeling to have him walking through the studio door for a project."
Peter Bliss - Peter's Planet Corp.
"Working with Jim was always a true pleasure. Jim is a musician with great skill, flexibility, and a spirit of collaboration. The nature of this particular business requires the talent to become the voice of someone other than themselves and Jim's ability to modulate his voice is amazing. He's on time, quick to learn, and understands the process of commercial recording very well from all sides of the microphone. His intellect, humor and insight make it really fun to be around him."
