Voice Description

Clear, crisp and upbeat tone with a warm, sweet, conversational feel -- like a granny smith apple dipped in caramel. Or a bowl of green jello topped with sweetened whipped cream. Or a homemade strawberry short cake like your grandma used to make.

Accent-free, no discernable accent.

Sexy, fun, upbeat, lively, casual and conversational commercials.
Smart yet approachable business or web presentations, elearning projects and podcasts.
Real and friendly telephone greetings or IVR projects.
