Jim Cummings: The Voice Behind the Magic

Las Vegas is buzzing with excitement as iconic voice actor Jim Cummings graces the Amazing Art Expo at the Plaza Hotel. Known as the 'man of 1,500 voices', Cummings has enchanted audiences with unforgettable characters like Winnie-the-Pooh and Tigger.

Cummings shared his whimsical journey into voice acting, revealing that it all began in his childhood. "I used to jokingly do Winnie the Pooh when I was like 12 or 13 years old playing Monopoly… And monkey art paid off," he recounted with a laugh.

“You get clues… A guy that weighs 500 pounds isn’t going to sound like this…,” Cummings explained, demonstrating his knack for crafting unique character voices.

A Career of Endless Voices

Jim's first voice gig took place in San Diego, and since then, he's lent his voice to everything from movie trailers to iconic villains like Steele in Steven Spielberg’s 'Balto'. His collaboration with Kevin Bacon in 'Balto' even gave him a playful edge in the game 'Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon'.

Beyond his beloved roles in animation, Cummings has also become a recognizable voice at EDM festivals like Tomorrowland and Unity. His versatility ensures that his voice is as memorable as the characters he brings to life.
