Thanks again. I can tell you are a true pro and I appreciate working with people like yourself. The spots are on the air... Look and sound good.
Terence Gower, visual & multi-media artist
The show in Washington is doing well -- good response all around. A very good review in the Washington Post last Monday.
I should mention that Canadians who visit the show usually insist that they recognize your voice. Famous in Canada, now famous in Washington!
Many thanks again for your great work on this project.

You have a wonderful voice and have been very easy to work with. I will certainly keep you in mind for other projects.
Randy Hayes, Owner and Creative Lead, Cross-Eyed Studio
The match was like magic. I'm serious. It was a dead ringer for what you tracked a year and a half ago. How is that even possible? You are a voice-over machine! No, scratch that. You are a voice-over artist of the first order.
Sincere respect,
Randy Hayes
