Why Professional talents?

Like listening to an audiobook, the voice talent makes a difference to each individual audience member. Sometimes you might be looking forward to hearing an audiobook from a favorite book, and the narrator just doesn’t work for you. Other times there might be a book you may never have heard about and a narrator reads it, and you wanna hear it! Audio Description voice talents for TV shows and movies are similar to that idea – that you may have different favorites than someone else, but you would like to know who’s who. Netflix recently required voice talent professionals (and companies and writers) to be identified at the end of each video ahead of the credits. We’d like to connect these many talents – writers, voice talents, engineers, editors, and advisors, to your favorite shows.
