Testimonials:
We have worked closely with Mike on numerous voice-over projects over the past two years. Mike has a great voice, which has proved a hit with our audiences. He always delivers a thoughtful, considered read of the script and is a consummate professional in terms of delivery. He is also a pleasure to work with. We highly recommend him.
-Tom Nicholls, Co-founder, Energy-Future
Mike has been our primary male voice talent for a little over a year now. He provides quality voice recordings, quickly and at a fair price. Before Mike we were using a handful of male talents for our customers’ shows, but because of Mike’s versatility and responsiveness, we have been able to use him solely for all projects requiring a male voice. Mike’s talents have lent a professional touch to our presentations that always impresses our customers, and frankly, makes us look good!
– Ryan Lynd, EVP Technology and Services, Quickshow™

-Mary Carlson, Neighborhood Housing Services of Chicago
