kind words

I've had the pleasure to work with some incredibly talented creatives.
Here are some of their experiences:
-
"Working with Toby on The Dark Lord's Handbook: Conquest has been a pleasure in every respect. Not only is he a very fine voice actor, who collaborated well on direction and voices, but is also very professional. The production and review process couldn't have been smoother. The communication between us at every stage has been clear and precise, and the project has been delivered on time. I wouldn't hesitate to engage Toby again."Paul Dale - Author of The Dark Lord's Handbook: Conquest-"I received over sixty auditions for the audiobook for my novel, THE GREATEST NOEL. My protagonist, Sandar the Builder, is a powerful and dominating character with a kindly and curious streak. Most of the auditions gave his voice a boomy rough blue-collar sound; only Toby’s captured his intelligence and peaceable nature without losing track of his strength and decisiveness. And in the reading, he went on to nail some very difficult voices, famous historical characters readers will likely have imagined for themselves before they turn the first page, including two strong female characters. That, plus his brisk and theatrical reading of the expository passages, made for a production that does not tire – rather delights – the ear. His careful preparation shaved days off the production process, and he was a pleasure to work with, never pushing back on (what I considered the rather few) changes and corrections I asked for. His reading illuminated my words and – highest praise – when I played a chapter for my wife, she said she forgot she was listening to an audiobook. My first audiobook experience, and a fine one with Toby.Steve Lawson - Author of The Greatest Noel

"Toby was professional, communicative and great to work with. He delivered a fantastic performance and gave me a quick turnaround as well. I would love the opportunity to work with him again in future and have no hesitation in recommending him for other projects."Mark R Healy - Creator of The Strata-"Toby has now narrated several of my books. He's a pleasure to work with, brings the characters to life in the way that I always imagined them to be, and is also open to any changes or suggestions I care to make. Add to that a talent for voices that's second to none and you're left with a very happy author."Tony Lewis - Author of the Skullenia Series

"Toby voiced a couple of writing projects I have. With a quick and clear turnaround time and fantastic outcome, I would 100% recommend Toby for any projects you may have! I will be reaching out to Toby directly again to hopefully work together on another project!"
