VOICE-OVERS & AUDIO BOOKS

The fourth week in June is Freedom from Fear of Speaking Week

Barbara Florio Graham received her broadcast training at NBC in New York.
In Canada, she was a regular contributor to many CBC radio programs, and
has provided voice-overs for several Public Service Announcements.

Ray Stone, well-known Ottawa actor and broadcaster, can provide male voices as required. 

Please contact us about voicing your DVD, or narrating all or part of your book
for a CD or DVD version.  Don't trust amateurs; hire the experts!

We also offer  Media Interview Techniques

Learn how to prepare for and handle media interviews, including those on radio
or television, in person, and in a panel discussion or other public forum.

One usually expects public speaking training to be handle in person, but there are
many techniques that can be taught via e-mail, saving you time and money.
