BIOGRAPHY
Back after a little tangle with Covid-19! I love the process and the creativity of Voicework, and I love the warm glow of knowing I've done a good job. Clients have thought so too, as reflected in my Client Testimonials, and the fact that many have become repeat clients. I've had 18 clients in 2020...
