WHAT OTHER PEOPLE ARE SAYING.....


"Debbie 'gets' it. She's a talented wordsmith in her own right, so she didn't just read my script -- she brought it to life. On a more practical level, she re-jiggered her schedule to meet (actually beat) my ridiculous deadline. Can't wait to work with her again."
David Simon, President, WeComply, Inc., 2008

"I have known Debbie as a voice talent since 2002. She's not only smart and funny... she's a true professional. Cool under pressure and willing to go for that extra 'take' behind the microphone. I always look forward to working with her."
Frank Piazza, President, Audio Paint Ltd, 2008

"Each time I cast a voice for a job after I find a great voice I always wonder if the voice over talent I picked will understand the idea and bring something special to the idea. Debbie has the voice, but she has something more, She's conceptual. She really gets it. And is able to surprise me with something I never thought of. That's the value I look for."
Tony DeGregorio, Brand Consultant, Formerly Chief Creative Officer Publicis, 2007

"Debbie was a pleasure to work with. Her professionalism was demonstrated by her versatility and her attunement to the needs of the piece. She did an excellent job!"
Morgan Robinson, Co-Director and Co-Producer of the documentary,
THE BANKO SCHOOL PROJECT, with Birdgirl Productions, 2007

"In my 30 years in advertising, I've worked with some really great voice overs, including Orson Wells, Tammy Grimes and James Earl Jones. Debbie Irwin's ability to take direction, to provide creative interpretation, her voice quality and above all her professionalism, puts her among those voice overs that can add immeasurably to the success of a project. Thank you, Debbie!"
Paul Solovay, Creative Director, Public Service Associates, Inc. 2007
