Highlights
My goal is to make your voiceover project sound fabulous! My specialty is providing a warm, sincere, believable female vocal presence that will convince and reassure your clients, bringing you better results.
In addition, I can be the hip young thing on your IVR system, the knowledgeable teacher (I'm a retired lawyer) for your online ed class, the midwestern mom selling your product, the classy British art expert narrating your travelogue, the techno-geek explaining your computer course or website, as well as the dangerous dame in your video game or the little kid who brings your latest iPad children's story to life!
You know the old saying, " Fast, Good, or Inexpensive: Pick Two"? Well, I give you all three, and more! I bring to all my projects professionalism, timeliness, creativity, flexibility, and a great sense of humor, all at an affordable price. I specialize in quick turnarounds (often within 24 hours or less!) and can easily work on short notice.
Thanks for your time. I look forward to working with you!

Thank you for following up on the role of Kayli for Project IITS. Your readings were fantastic and providing nuanced versions of several lines was very helpful. I think you have a beautiful voice (and I'm really not just saying that.) Your delivery was top notch and the readings were super professional and of great quality and you truly stood out.
The quality of Jean's voice work is matched only by her courtesy and professionalism. She has a wonderful range, natural characters, and would be a boon to just about any project. Thank you again for your time, Jean.

Driss Rhoulami, Yabler.com
In one word, Jean is Awesome! It was a pleasure working with her. Very talented, professional and flexible. Jean went the extra mile to make sure that our script was right and she took the time to suggest changes. Those changes were spot on and made a significant impact on conveying our message. Her voice tempo and softness conveyed the friendly, family re-assuring feeling that we were looking for. We also had a tight schedule and Jean made sure to be available and deliver on time. I will definitely ask Jean for her assistance on my next voice over requirements... no question about it. Thanx again, Jean!
