I recently completed the voice-over for a technical Mini Documentary/Web Video entitled "Building The Light Rail Track System: A Step by Step Overview" describing the construction of a light rail line extension in California. The video can be viewed here: http://youtu.be/w_UF-KL6ctw The client said of my work: “First, we just want to thank you for the great voiceover work you did on our video.
