John Harris Owner/Producer Horsepower Productions * * * * * * * * * “I'm your basic no-budget, in-house producer so it's a rare treat for me to have a chance to hire a voice pro, and I must say that Maxine Dunn was a wonder. She took my video from zero to sixty in no time flat. The program was well received and many commented on how good the narration was. Maxine was really great to work with, quickly providing a couple of sample readings to spec, and then turning the entire script around very quickly. I asked for a couple of line revisions for pronunciation reasons, and those came back the same day. If I'm ever lucky enough to again have the budget for v/o I can tell you that Maxine is the first person I'll call. You should do the same.” Ron Braxley Digital Media Producer UGA College of Education * * * * * * * * * "For a high-profile project for CBS Network, I needed a voice over artist who could elevate the project to the next level.

Talk about handy for casting people, agents and producers!” Patrick Fraley Voice Over Teacher and Talent * * * * * * * * * "Maxine Dunn is an absolute pleasure to work with. Great voice and highly professional. Will use her again and again." Brandon Hawthorne Hawthorne, LLC (ad agency) * * * * * * * * * "She is a wonderful talent to work with, as well as a delightful person to be around. That in itself is high level recommendation because personality and professionalism in the studio are often as important as raw talent. And speaking of raw talent, Maxine has really delivered a nice pallet of sounds for me and my clients. We have had her as a tough correspondent, and a creamy sounding, relaxing invitation. Her value shines when it comes to the range of dialects she possesses, which sound very authentic. She is equally at home with documentary styles and with lightly dramatic voice-overs. I would recommend her, (and have), to anyone looking for a slightly different sound from the normal female voice talent. Maxine Dunn is high on my list!"

I can count on a warm, caring, polished delivery every time. I have lots of choices whenever I need voice-over or on-camera spokesperson talent. Maxine is always at the top of my list. She has much more than the right voice. She’s versatile, can deliver nuance, and clearly understands how to meet a variety of client needs. Maxine is a real pro." Art Luebke Video Communications Manager Kaiser Permanente * * * * * * * * * "I have worked with Maxine on many different projects over the last 10 years and am always impressed with the professionalism that she brings to the table. Whether it’s on-camera work or voice-over, she always delivers and takes direction easily. I have used her with an American accent as well as her native British accent, and both work very well, but the thing I like best is how relaxed she is and how fun she is to work with. I have and will continue to recommend Maxine Dunn for a variety of project needs." Kevin Capra Executive producer Moxie Media Group * * * * * * * * *
