Voice Over Testimonials

Can't wait to work with Gail again... she is a wonderful talent!

Chatterbox Audio (Audible U.K.)

Gail was the lead narrator and producer for the audiobook edition of The Shenandoah Spy. Not only is she very talented, but also technically adept and a joy to work with. She has a terrific range of vocal characterizations and is willing to accept direction and try new approaches.

ACX, Francis Hamit

Gail's voice was more perfect than I expected... I found myself swept away in the story... The narration was flawless. The most beautiful and sincere voice I've ever listened to... a wonderfully skilled voice actor. An outstanding job transforming a complex cast of characters into unforgettable demons, angels, friends and foes.... Gail Shalan's various foreign accents and her well defined development of each character, as they transform and grow in complexity, enrich this story.
