Testimonial:

"As a relative newcomer to the VO marketplace, Józefa has produced fantastic voiceovers for our animated tutorials on how to use the generative learning object authoring environment developed at LTRI"
Tom Boyle. Director LTRI (London Metropolitan University)

"I felt that the sound of Józefa's voice has, since my first contact with her during our recent European project, been consistently reassuring and encouraging to those listening and following her speech. Her capacity, tonality, clear pronunciation and the ability to stress the important sentences, gives to a listener with a 'non-English mother tongue', the opportunity to not only properly understand but also deeply appreciate the content. She creates a real empathy between herself and her audience, enhancing the level of communication and message"
