It is time for another story from our Amarant Collection. If you have been a regular listener of Variant Frequencies, then you are familiar with the fantastic voice of Chuck Tomasi. Well, a while back Chuck sent me a note. He told me that his sister is a bit of a celebrity here in Traverse City where Anne and I live. He said that she might be interested in reading for us. We are proud to say that not only was she interested in reading for us, but she gave us a great narration for the story.

We are so excited to have the wonderful and experienced voice talent of Marilyn Taylor. Just check out this resume.

Voice Description

My voice is warm, BELIEVABLE, competent, trustworthy, professional yet friendly.

I work from my home studio full time so I am available 24/7... I have a passion for this business and practically live in my studio :)

After many years working as a reporter/anchor I transitioned into TV/Radio commercials, business/DVD presentations, voicemail and more recently, web/flash presentations.

My talent comes from an innate understanding of the human voice and how it can be used to inspire, touch the heart and influence behavior. It is an amazing instrument!

My goal is to please my clients and achieve the desired effect for their project. I guarantee my work!

One of my passions is finding the right music or effect to set the right tone. I own a vast music bed collection and will work with my client to find the right sound.
