Sylvia is a pleasure to work with and a talented voice actor. She was very communicative and flexible in quickly scheduling a directed session. Sylvia gave us a lot of options and was receptive to agency and client notes. The timbre of her voice is just lovely!

Sylvia is a tremendous voice talent. I've hired her for 3 projects so far and have plans for more in the future. She can play a wide range of characters and takes direction like a champion. Can't wait to work together on more projects.
