This girl is a shining star!! I highly recommend her! She truly stands out from the rest, hands down! Dr. Ken Savage, Chiropractic First
• • Excellent, excellent , excellent job! Very pleased Dean Poor, KSTW-TV Seattle We hired Roberta to do the voiceover for our new phone system. First impressions are extremely important and I didn't want our system to sound like the boring phone tree we all have to endure when calling companies. Roberta had just what we were looking for with her friendly and playful voice and engaging tone. She delivered exceptional results for us very quickly and I would highly recommend her for voiceover work. We are thrilled with her results! – George A. Ouzts, Kooziekart
Roberta has done voice work for me at Radius Marketing Group twice in the past. She has great sound, speed and tone. Most importantly she delivers quickly and is readily available for any necessary changes. I would recommend Roberta to anyone and we will continue to work with her in the future!

Her experience has equipped her to take direction with great ease and color her words for the listener, engaging them in the conversational experience!
Client satisfaction and quick turnaround are the VO rules I stand by! I take direction like a true professional and pride myself at being versatile, adaptable, upbeat, over the top, or sexy, smooth and mellow .I wear many "voice acting hats" and step into any role placed before me!
