This was my first foray into narration for a book and I could not be happier with the end product. Lefty is the ultimate professional: communicative, finished according to the schedule, and most of all, he has a great voice. I wanted a specific tone for my book and he easily matched it. I highly recommend Lefty!

Daniel was an absolute pleasure to work with. I listened to many narration tapes but knew when I heard his voice, that he would be the perfect person to narrate my non-fiction book. Daniel is easy to work with, responsive, patient, and aims to please. I'm very happy with the book and his work; it sounds great!
