Testimonials
Michael Sullivan, Sullivan Productions
“Diane has a great voice, it has the right mixture of authority and passion. She was very easy to work with a very professional attitude. I would highly reccomend Diane.”
Bill Criswell, Criswell & Associates
“She is amazing and our clients lover her work. Very versatile and professional. You should hire her for your next TV or radio spot!!!”
Dave Bolick Communications
“In a world of mediocrity and incompetence, Diane Burket is one of those business resources that most of us only dream about. She's smart, competent, professional, and hugely talented. I would recommend her without reservation.”
Jon Herbst, Herbst Studios
“I've worked with Diane many times. She is a consummate VO professional. She brings tremendous skill, energy and a totally relaxed "vibe" to the studio. Her ability to deliver nuanced performances is extraordinary. She can invariably "intuit" the exact voice a client is looking for, even if the client isn't quite able to articulate it! I'd hire her again in a New York minute.”
