"I've worked with Dan Akers many times and he is the complete audio professional. There is nothing he can't do. Very fast and skilful with incredible attention to detail, what really sets him apart is his talent as a voice artist: he has a great voice and knows exactly how to use it. From thin air to on-air, he can do absolutely everything. I sincerely recommend him to anyone." Paul Burke, 4x bestselling author and creative lead at AMV/BBDO London UK
"Dan was a true professional and a class act! Loved working with him. He made things easy as our script slowly changed, and his voice is excellent and fit our project perfectly. I'd highly recommend working with Dan." Connor Scofield, Partner/President, Lockt Editorial, Los Angeles, California
