Reviews

  • Fantastic actors...you will smile and hold your breath along with them

    Cerberus Rex: "Natali de Assis, the voice of Dr. Correia, and Michael Joseph Murray, the voice of her companion Benjamin Wyngarde, are fantastic actors, and they click together like puzzles pieces you didn’t realize were missing each other as soon as they begin interacting in earnest. Through their suspicion, wonderment, terror, and panic, you will smile and hold your breath along with them. - Bello Collective, "The Vastness of Space and What Hides There," April 8, 2018

  • Special kudos

    "The entire cast was great, but special kudos to Natali de Assis who played Ana. I was right there with her the whole time." - SFF Audio, "Review of Cerberus Rex," November 17, 2017

  • Wonderful job as the lead voice actor

    "Natali de Assis does a wonderful job as the lead voice actor of Cerberus Rex’s inquisitive protagonist." -

    Andromeda Spaceways, "Cerberus Rex - Jason Hardcastle," October 201

  • Fantastic voice acting

    "The voice acting is fantastic with Natali de Assis doing most of the heavy lifting as Anabela."- Frankenculture, "Cerberus Rex: An Audio Adventure," March 24, 2018

  • Exquisite soprano

    Brigadoon: “De Assis has an exquisite soprano voice and looks like a young Maureen O’Hara.” - Dorothy Velasco for The Register-Guard, August 2008

  • Gorgeous voice alone is worth the price of the ticket

    The Music Man: "Natali de Assis is lovely as Marian. Her gorgeous voice alone is worth the price of the ticket." - Dorothy Velasco for The Register-Guard, August 2008

  • Great ability to convey emotion

  • Highly recommend

    "Tali's voice fit perfectly with our needs. She's been very reactive. It was a pleasure to work with her. We highly recommend!" - Voiceover Client Review
