Narration
Voice over narration comes in diverse forms including documentaries and digital books. Voice narration requires flexibility and commitment, which are great qualities that describe Racquel’s work ethic.

Interactive Voice Response/Telephony
Telephone prompt recordings may seem simple, but this genre can be nuanced. A clear and friendly voice is required for IVR. Racquel has this quality and can articulate complex information clearly and concisely and engage with customers effectively.
Racquel’s growing playlist is also available on Soundcloud.
