Anders
Extremely satisfied and super professional voice over. We got the finished work delivered over a few days and the sound files were adjusted and was ready for use. We are super happy we went with olivia and can highly recommend to others.
What a find. Olivia understood the brief immediately - and delivered 3 voiceovers quickly and without fuss. She's professional, extremely talented (her voice is warm, human and so clear) - she was an absolute pleasure to work with - and I recommend her highly. I will work with her again for sure.
Katharina
Olivia worked as our stage manager, operating lights and sounds on the night. She was punctual, reliable and got on really well with the team. She thought creatively to overcome issues and didn't hesitate to help out in areas outside her remit, going above and beyond. She would be a major assist to any production crew.
