Native British female voice over talent
North American female voice over talent
Maxine Dunn is a British female voice over artist who also happens to deliver a standard American accent without a trace of Brit.
* * * "Maxine Dunn takes the stuffiness out of an authentic British read, AND delivers a perfect American read to boot. Talk about handy for casting people, agents and producers!" Patrick Fraley - Voice Over Teacher and Talent
She provides voice-over services for video production companies, advertising agencies, television and radio stations, recording studios, non-profit organizations, independent businesses, multi-national corporations, and individual clients.
* * * "Maxine Dunn is a consummate professional and working with her is always a pleasure. This year I entrusted two European launch programs, one of which had a very touchy message, to Maxine and the results were major successes. Her warmth and expressiveness really made these shows even better than they're written." Rick Hanley - Director of Production, Pixel Light Digital Media
Her distinctive and pleasing voice has a wide range – personal and engaging, warm and soothing, energetic and playful, articulate and intelligent, cheerful and inspiring, are just a few ways to describe her versatility.
Another advantage of working with Maxine is her ability to work with either a British or American accent. She is a native of England but can deliver a spot on American read without a trace of Brit giving you more flexibility, without having to book more than one talent.
* * * "When Maxine Dunn speaks, jaws drop. A native Brit, she can put her amazing talent to work for you in TWO flawless dialects: US English and British English. I have had the great pleasure of directing her on several occasions. She is truly the consummate professional." Susan Berkley - President, The Great Voice Company
Examples of her voice-over projects include documentary and narrations, corporate communications, DVD and video narration, television and radio commercials, corporate or small business voice-mail systems and phone prompts, radio imaging, web site content and promotion, voice-overs for e-learning and online universities, and medical and instructional video narration.
She performs with equal proficiency with the ear prompter and teleprompter and is warm and engaging on-camera, as well as being highly professional and fun to work with whether in the studio on green screen or on location.
Specialties:
Maxine has hands-on creative knowledge of the advertising, documentary, and corporate communications industries and extensive experience in creating messages that fulfill her client's needs. Whether voicing a passionate documentary exploration of the universe for NASA, a highly technical instructional video for surgeons, or a warm, real-person read for a new health spa, she knows how to interpret your copy in exactly the way you intend.
Experience and intuition are KEY when choosing a voice for your important project. Maxine delivers.
* * * "Maxine Dunn brings a special versatility. I've done Talk Radio imaging with her. Had her voice NPR projects. Made her go spunky and hard-sell for marketing promos. Encouraged her to read for a modern rock station. She always nailed it.
Professional. Easy to direct. Fun to work with. And for me, she has a creatively well-rounded way about her. I draw images and tell stories. And she gets it. She'll "go there" with a script. Can't just have the voice... must bring a brain that's "wired" a certain way, too, ya know. Maxine fits." Marty Cesario, KKFN-AM/Denver, Ingrum Sports Production Network, CET Sports

WHAT CLIENTS THINK:

"If there was ever a one person show it would be Maxine Dunn. As a project manager I have to coordinate talents and clients and that becomes tricky sometimes because of egos on both sides. But with Maxine that is not an issue. Maxine is the most professional talent I have ever worked with, and when you deal with Fortune 500 clients you need a talent who understands direction as well as client perspective. Maxine has the ability to listen to a client and then turn around and give them exactly what they want. When it comes to female talent, Maxine is at the top of a very short list."

"Maxine Dunn is an absolute pleasure to work with. Great voice and highly professional. Will use her again and again."

"She is a wonderful talent to work with, as well as a delightful person to be around. That in itself is high level recommendation because personality and professionalism in the studio are often as important as raw talent. And speaking of raw talent, Maxine has really delivered a nice pallet of sounds for me and my clients. We have had her as a tough correspondent, and a creamy sounding, relaxing invitation.
Her value shines when it comes to the range of dialects she possesses, which sound very authentic. She is equally at home with documentary styles and with lightly dramatic voice-overs. I would recommend her, (and have), to anyone looking for a slightly different sound from the normal female voice talent. Maxine is high on my list!"

I have lots of choices whenever I need voice-over or on-camera spokesperson talent. Maxine is always at the top of my list.
She has much more than the right voice. She's versatile, can deliver nuance, and clearly understands how to meet a variety of client needs. Maxine is a real pro."

"I have worked with Maxine on many different projects over the last 10 years and am always impressed with the professionalism that she brings to the table. Whether it's on-camera work or voice-over, she always delivers and takes direction easily.
I have used her with an American accent as well as her native British accent, and both work very well, but the thing I like best is how relaxed she is and how fun she is to work with. I have and will continue to recommend Maxine for a variety of project needs."
