James X. Wang 

Hi, my name is James and I am an audio and production specialist from from Vancouver, Canada. As of 2026, I am based in Tokyo, Japan to explore career opportunities. Most recently, I was undertaking contract work in Beijing for an upcoming animated feature film as an audio editor and production assistant. In 2024, I completed a diploma program on Sound Design for Visual Media at Vancouver Film School. I further specialize in technical sound design for video games as well as ADR (automated dialogue replacement) recording and editing. Recently I have been integrating the use of generative AI tools in my creative workflow.

With a background of applied music technology and live performance, I have had the opportunity to continuously work with music-related tech products at live music events around Vancouver. I also have additional experience in translation & localization, as well as an academic background in East Asian history, international relations, and cross-cultural research at the University of British Columbia. With over 14 years each living in North America and East Asia, I am dedicated to fostering understanding between cultures and perspectives.

Outside of work, I enjoy staying active in the gym, discovering live music and jazz hotspots around Tokyo. I also love visiting different cafes around town. Virtually anything related to arts, design, sports, and history will pique my interest.

I hope to connect with other professionals in the digital media industry, as well as those who share a passion for music, cultural studies and technical sound design. For information on my latest projects, feel free to explore my portfolio page.
