I usually get "You ROCK!!!" from this client, but today...

Quote:
"Connie, you have the unique ability to take a day that has left me feeling like I’m stuck in a long dark tunnel and showing me there is light at the end of it."


I think my favorite of all though is still...

Quote:
"Someday there will be a statue of you in our lobby...probably gold."


What is your favorite testimonial?

Quote:
... flashes of brilliance amid hours of mediocrity.

I've always thought you had flashes of brilliance. Or was that flashes of flame shooting from the BBQ?

The first testimonial I received was in 1979, from a project manager for Western Electric, the manufacturing and supply unit for what was the Bell System:
Quote:
"You sound as though you were one of our own technicians!"

But the best one thus far was the LinkedIn recommendation received in 2005 from a producer of corporate communications:
Quote:
"Mike Harrison’s work is first-class. He’s outright gifted and can handle an enormous range of directions, inflections and characterizations. I’ve twisted Mike around a wide variety of jobs from presenting business services for AT&T to selling floor tile with an authentic Hawaiian accent and he’s done them all brilliantly. Highly recommended!"

It's nice to blow the dust off them every now and then. I am extremely grateful to have received them and lucky to have worked with such generous people.

My favorite:

"I'd rather work with Doug than with the finest voice talent in the business."

(And yes, I use it on my website.)

I shared this on facebook but it's worth repeating. My first 2 audiobook reviews.

First was a 4 star review on performance, no comments

Second started with "Paul Stefano killed the book for me". That was nice to read.

you could actually read that a couple of ways --- but it's good to stay positive!

Buried by the testimonials! Painful.

I once received a Headmaster's Commendation at age 13. Since then I have been forced to languish in obscurity.

Still, at least I scrub up well.
