The voice talent of Patti Teel has been written about and praised in numerous publications including the Wall Street Journal, Los Angeles Times, Washington Post, the New York Daily News, Yoga Journal and Good Housekeeping. Patti is best known for her relaxing, meditative recordings. This lead to the Wall Street Journal dubbing her the sleep lady while People Magazine nicknamed her the Dream Maker. But to grateful parents, she is simply the fairy godmother of peaceful bedtimes. Patti is the author of a The Floppy Sleep Game Book and audio CD which were recently published by the Penguin Group's Perigee Books imprint.

Patti Teel has degrees in elementary education and special education from the University of Nebraska and has been active in the performing arts since she was a child. She has had formal vocal training, acting lessons, and music instruction from the classroom as well as from notable private instructors. Patti Teel is not only a great voice talent; she is an excellent songwriter as well. She is capable of quickly composing catchy jingles and songs for commercials and your various productions. As an optional cost saving benefit to you, Patti Teel’s production company, Dream Flight Productions, has its own in-house, digital multitrack recording studio with engineers on call. The DAW we use is the latest version Adobe Audition 2.0, which we personally find superior over Pro Tools, when it comes to voice over, video sound editing, and broadcasting work. Patti uses an AKG tube condenser vocal recording mic, which produces warm natural tones. Our preamp is an all DC circuitry, Focusrite Class A preamp with outboard compressor, de-esser, EQ, Limiter, Expander. We use an M-Audio professional 24 bit 196 khz soundcard installed in a 3.1 Ghz custom built “whisper quiet” dual hard drive audio recording computer,. This particular computer is neither hooked up to the Internet nor has any programs loaded on which are not related to audio production, thereby dedicating all it’s CPU power to your project. We usually record and mix in 32 bit at 44.1 khz and then export to a huge variety of file types and sizes of your choice, including the relatively new mp3PRO VBR (Variable Bitrate) encoder options. We then burn your files to disc and can send it to you mail or by DSL over the Internet via a second computer.
