“I have had the pleasure to work with Mara Junot on several projects for The World Bank. Each time we have been delighted with the timeliness of her work, and most importantly, her commitment to getting the appropriate intonation for the content. My prior experience with voice talent was always in-person at a local Philadelphia studio. I was concerned about working with talent procured through the internet and by not being present to check the recording in real-time. However, Mara's absolute professionalism on all levels, and has proven my fears to be unwarranted. I recommend Mara Junot without reservation.”
