Additional Skills

READ THESE TESTIMONIALs from my many satisfied clients!!

It is rare to find vocal talent that has the ability to do technical and legal, humorous, and dramatic reading. It even rarer to find talent who can do all three for a long read. It is so rare that we sampled voices from across the country, and found that rare individual in just one person ˆ Dan Lenard. Dan has the neutral dialect to appeal to Harvard educated professionals, without alienating the average individual by sounding elitist or academic. We were so pleased with his narration of my last book; How to Manage Problem Employees, that we have already chosen him to narrate my next two books.

Glenn Shepard, President
Glenn Shepard Seminars

Dan is an excellent and versatile voice artist. He recently completed the biography of Thomas Jefferson on time, with continuous updates, prompt responses to feedback and we couldn't be happier with the outcome. He's also an upbeat guy.

Not everyone is cut out to read 17th century prose and pronounce names and places in various foreign languages, but Dan came up to speed very quickly and we'll hire him again as soon as we can.
