Read the reviews at www.voice123.com/danakers with the external reviews below: "Dan worked with Villa Magna Publishing on a challenging audio book project that required not just his brilliant talent as a voice-over artist, but also characterisation and difficult pronunciation of words in other languages. Not only did he deliver a top final recording, but throughout the whole process he was professional, receptive to our feedback, and a real joy to work with. We liked Dan so much, we are now on to our second project with him!" ★★★★★ ROCÍO TXABARRIAGA | Chief Editor & Executive VP, VMP, Virginia Beach, USA "I've worked with Dan Akers many times and he is the complete audio professional. There is nothing he can't do. He writes, produces and directs all things audible with great charm and aplomb. What's more, he's a very fast and skilful engineer whose attention to detail ensures all his productions just sound "right". But what really sets him apart is his talent as a voice artist. Not only does he have a great voice but he knows exactly how to use it. So from thin air to on-air, he can do absolutely everything. I sincerely recommend him to anyone." ★★★★★ PAUL BURKE | author, most-awarded ad creative in history, AMV/BBDO London "Dan puts the "artist" into voice artist. Lovely quality of voice, particularly if you're looking for sincerity and trust. But Dan also 'gets' a script. His breadth of experience means he can tell what you're aiming for and delivers. He hits every note and every beat. He can produce and record himself too which is handy when you need it right and you need it right now. A joy to direct and lots of variety when you're looking for options. Highly recommended." ★★★★★ KIM GALLAGHER | Bauer Media creative director, Newcastle-Upon-Tyne "I've never before met someone who can bring a script to life like Dan. The best producer I've ever worked with. His attention to detail is second-to-none. Versatile voiceover too with great range and a polished, prompt delivery. Couldn't recommend more highly." ★★★★★ DAN HUNT | Sound Creative Ideas creative director, Devon, UK "Dan has an excellent voice, great to work with and much liked by our international client base. He responds to emails quickly and we usually receive his audio within 1 or 2 hours." ★★★★★ FRANK METZEL | Alpen Animation and Life Science Animation CEO, Germany "Dan is hugely talented at what he does. Super impressive in fact and such a pleasure to work with. I’ve undertaken multiple Radio ads with Dan, whilst at Vodafone & Screwfix, and he simply puts 200% in to every ad. So helpful and supportive. A true expert with Radiocentre Clearance matters too. The collaborative approach Dan proactively takes is what every client needs. Dan makes sure the ads are maximised from both technical and creative angles. It's always very enjoyable producing ads with Dan and I always look forward to studio time together. Dan continues to support his clients for post-production requirements and has often over delivered, against the odds, to help perfect ads. He’s helped me out with being the voiceover artist too for the main ad and/or the Ts&Cs. A genius at what he does. Best in the industry! Great guy. Highly recommended." ★★★★★ SUKI RAIKHY | specialist marketing executive, London "Dan is great. He really knows what he's doing. He's one of the very few even today who understands sound in depth. Dan Akers is a name that's always meant something in our business. Clients won't get any better." ★★★★★ RANDALL LEE ROSE | North American broadcaster and voice artist, London

Dan was a true professional and a class act! Loved working with him. He made things easy when recording as our script slowly changed. And of course, his voice is excellent and fit our project perfectly. Would highly recommend working with Dan!

Lockt Editorial and Stept Studios, LA: their clients are the cream of the crop with creative to match, and this job was a real gift. Direction was pin-sharp without being nit-picky, and they made me feel like a creative ally whose contribution really counted. Thank you guys, this review means a lot.
