"Michelle Ford recorded the audio voiceovers to accompany a set of bespoke e-learning courses we developed covering the recruitment and selection policies and procedures, and required attributes for employees, for a large African banking group.
It was a pleasure working with Michelle from start to finish. She submitted a demo recording promptly on request. The timbre of her voice and the neutral UK English accent she applied to this work matched our requirements for the professional audience perfectly. Her rates were competitive, and her
recordings were extremely accurately and intelligently voiced. She suppliedus with edited voice tracks according to our specifications, returning these at short notice after receiving our scripts, and meeting the deadlines she committed to. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend her for similar work."
