“Jane's Smart Art Guides
are conspicuous in their attention to quality in material, recording,

to feel her presence with and enjoyment of what she is describing. She
has a supple, easy quality to her speech, aided by superb pronunciation
of place namand regional vernacular that not only enhances the pleasure
of listening to her Smart Art Guides, but it empowers the
material … with an authority that renders the listener more readily
sensible of the information … . Believe me when I say that the quality
of a reader’s voice can make all the difference between zoning out and
missing important information and staying tuned in to the directed
discussion. … Read More …
