Machelle Williams did a fantastic job narrating my new book Pajama Paydays, How To Make The Internet Work For You. She was able to bring a very technical subject to life with her warm and friendly voice and clear pronunciation. Her voice is a joy to listen to. I highly recommend Machelle for audio books and other audio projects and look forward to working with her again in the near future.”
