Giving life to your story
Leslie has nurtured a deep love of language and music from day one, giving her a forever passion for all things related to communication via the voice. A classically trained singer, with her academic degrees in voice performance, she sang for many years on international opera and concert stages (as Leslie Johnson), in comedic and serious roles.
Leslie’s considerable vocal and performance background makes her highly directable and collaborative, traits that flow seamlessly into her narration and voiceover work. Her joy in communication impassions her to work with you to get to the heart of your message or story, big or small, and bring it to life.
Leslie is available for both writing and narrating AUDIO DESCRIPTION, as well as COMMERCIAL and NARRATION work. Her extensive background in the performing arts brings a knowledgeable and comfortable sensibility to ARTS EDUCATIONAL and PROGRAMMATIC NARRATION. A word nerd with an ear for languages, pronouncing challenging terminology and reading dense copy comes easily, making MEDICAL, PHARMACEUTICAL, and CORPORATE NARRATION a great fit. Leslie’s natural tone brings poise and warmth to E-LEARNING and EXPLAINER VIDEOS.
Leslie is equipped to record and deliver from her home studio, on her Synco Mic-D2 and Black Lion Revolution 2×2 interface, with Audacity and iZotope RX10 for editing. She is available for remote sessions through Source-Connect Standard.
People Are Saying...
Leslie did a PHENOMENAL job as our voice over talent for a corporate video…I intend to continue to utilize her INCREDIBLE VOCAL SKILLS AND TALENT. She was EASY TO WORK WITH, COMMUNICATION WAS AMAZING, and expectations were met as needed…Thank you, Leslie, for your PROFESSIONALISM!! 10/10
Leslie was EXACTLY WHAT OUR PROJECT NEEDED. Despite changes to the script and creative direction…Leslie remained invested the entire time. She continually tried different directions and VOLUNTEERED HER OWN GOOD IDEAS AND APPROACHES at every milestone. On top of that, she was TIMELY, PROFESSIONAL, AND EASY TO COMMUNICATE WITH with from beginning to end!
In a challenging role—a doctor delivering difficult news to a patient’s son—Leslie brought emotional honesty and authenticity to her performance. She is PROFESSIONAL, RESPONSIVE, AND AN ABSOLUTE PLEASURE TO WORK WITH. I couldn’t recommend her more highly.
It goes without saying, we knew that finding the perfect narrator for our tutorials was key to giving our training a voice. Leslie was that voice. Her incredibly fluid sound, her ability to nail the timing and intonation of every script, confirmed that we found ourselves with a beautifully narrated tutorial. Leslie is NOT ONLY A PROFESSIONAL OF THE FIRST-CLASS, she is FLEXIBLE AND FUN TO WORK WITH. She takes direction and offers suggestions to make the script read with the best flow possible. It was a pleasure working with Leslie and we look forward to using her incredible talents in our next recordings.
Just wanted to say how great it was to work with you recently. Your WILLINGNESS TO TAKE DIRECTION AND REALLY PLAY, as well as your BEAUTIFUL VOICE made the sessions super fun and rewarding. No wonder we got such great takes! Let’s do it again soon!
Leslie’s read was ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC! Her delivery is perfect and she really fits the roles.
It was a great experience collaborating with Leslie. She READS SCRIPTS SO FLUENTLY, JUST LIKE SHE IS SAYING THEM SPONTANEOUSLY. I love her voice and tone, and she speaks with a perfect cadence which makes listeners focus on what she is saying. She is definitely a PROFESSIONAL AND FLEXIBLE narrator. I highly recommend her!
I was immediately drawn to the WARMTH AND OPTIMISM in Leslie’s voice. In working with her, I found that she is A JOY TO COLLABORATE WITH as well.
