Marni Webb
Highlights
I am noted for my storytelling quality, for the leisurely way my voice wraps around a message; I am also strong as a straight announcer/narrator/audio books reader. My voice has a sincerity listeners appreciate. Just ask for lots of dimple; I can do that, too. Food and image spots sound great with my voice. And from warm, sexy, smooth to corporate sounds or girl-and-mom-next-door voices—well, that’s me. I'm an acclaimed actress who can deliver real conversation "really well," and I have a whole roster of character voices and dialects, too. Some of these include: southern, French, English ("posh" and "cockney"), Australian, Irish, Scottish, Japanese, Hawaiian pidgin (I grew up in Hawaii), children's voices, elderly and more...When it comes to phone/mail messages, I'm tops and oft-requested. I'm the phone voice of a national bank, several hospitals, an Amtrak facility, and others. I'm particularly good at making tech reads sound listenable.

Service Description
I am a professional spoken word artist, a storyteller. I sing and write music, play piano and guitar. I have a unique ear for orchestration, and have been the audio producer/script writer and director for many award winning audio campaigns. For some reason, I’m unusually good at tech scripts (able to pronounce big tech words in a single bound!). I have taught English at the community college level and currently teach voice over/character voice skills to both beginners and advanced voices. I can engineer my own voice tracks and have all bells and whistles!
