If you're looking for lively, versatile female voices for your game or series, I absolutely recommend Erika's voice-overs! She is superb to work with and has dazzled my expectations!

I now have a sweet reel to share, made for the School of Video Game Audio!

I used exclusively my own recordings and synthesis. I also tasked Erika Gritton to voice the role of Ellen!
