“Tim Crist’s agency is our team’s go to whenever we need to bring voice-over talent or actors for our shoots and recordings. The agency’s roster is extensive in its variety, and I’ve been consistently impressed with these folks’ level of craft. They can really make tech content come alive, which can be a feat! Tim makes it easy for us to find the right person for the job and I appreciate that he’s always available to hop on a call if needed. I highly recommend TST!”
