ENGLISH VOICE REEL
Mariana is my go-to for all video creation and voice overs. She is my favorite freelancer to work with — fast, responsive, detail-oriented, and “gets it” as a marketer, executing on the brief and filling in gaps self-directed. Not only do I always love the final product, but the process is always a pleasure with Mariana as well! " - Catharine Burhenne, Reelgood
