Notable Narrators - Janice Downes

Janice Downes decided to become a member of the Voices.com talent marketplace about a year ago. Only 4 months later, Janice was able to leave her job in sales - she’d hit the ground running with 90% of her voice over work coming through Voices.com.

Notable Narrators - L. Harvey Gold

A good audio book needs a good author or script writer for sure, but what is it that makes or breaks the success of the audio-version a novel? The narrator’s voice!
