Voice Description

Shayr Guthrie has a very versatile voice. She has no problem switching from professional to silly, from innocent to sexy, from uber-cool to caring and compassionate.

Shayr can make an ordinary subject seem exciting. She can make technical industrial copy sound conversational. Her sincere, smiling voice can even make a caller forget how long they've been on hold.
