Jim Foronda

Jim Foronda is a Texas-based voice actor. A former ad copywriter, Jim began voice acting while writing commercials for Hasbro Toys, occasionally being tasked with voicing characters like Optimus Prime and Mr. Potato Head in toy ads. Since then, he’s been all manner of person, monster, robot, and… well, anything… in anime like in My Hero Academia, BLUELOCK, Wistoria: Wand & Sword, The 100 Girlfriends Who Really(×5) Love You, Trapped In A Dating Sim, The Apothecary Diaries, One Piece, Bye Bye Earth, Pop Team Epic, If My Favorite Pop Idol Made It To The Budokan I Would Die, Sleepy Princess In The Demon Castle, Fairy Tail, That Time I Got Reincarnated As A Slime, Fullmetal Alchemist, and much, much more. Game-wise, he can be heard all over the Borderlands franchise (including Claptrap in Borderlands 3 and Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands) as well as titles like Gundam Breaker 4, Fortnite, SMITE, Paladins, Rogue Company, RWBY: Arrowfell, Battleborn, NBA 2K21, Orcs Must Die 3, DBZ: Kakarot, and Dungeon Boss.

 In his spare time, Jim enjoys photography, games of the video and tabletop variety, occasional trips to Japan, building LEGO stuff, and working on a novel that he will probably never, ever finish. He loves his wife, Karin, and their four cats Takkyubin, Momiji, Ikaruga, and Minobu. He also wishes Japari Park was a real place. Diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes when he was 8 years old, Jim wears an insulin pump. By medical definition that totally makes him an actual, for real cyborg. He has yet to jump over a house or lift an automobile with his bare hands.
