• Marianne Culbert, Executive Producer

    Hands down, Dee brings enormous scope & talent to the table both as a Casting Director and as a Voice Director. She consistently engaging, professional and it's obvious that she has the respect of the talent & crew on both sides of the glass. She's a breath of fresh air in the industry.   Why would anyone bring their series anywhere else?

  • Gary Mundell, Technicolor

    Dee is a super star. Its official, I'm never going to work with another voice director every again, so there.

  • Jerry Popowich, Creative Producer, Mercury Filmworks

    Working with Dee and Company was a real pleasure. I was amazed by her instinct to cast the right actor for each unique character as well as her knowledge in multiple accents which was such a blessing on our production that used over twenty countries. It was a great experience working with Dee and look forward to working with her again.

    For several years now, Dee Shipley and Dee & Company have provided us with an absolutely turnkey approach to voice recording for our animated series. From casting, to the scheduling of talent and recording facilities in Canada, the US and Europe, to management of the sessions and very surefooted voice direction, and on to delivery of all required elements and paperwork, Dee and her people have proven to be highly experienced, reliable, talented, and, through it all, unflappable and fun to work with. My only hesitation in recommending Dee & Company too highly is that I want to make sure that they’re always available for us.

    How do they do it, these people, who enter a room and the energy changes, snap, just like that ? Dee Shipley is one of them. One of those very few human beings who can provide you with instant gratification about being alive!

  • Justin Stephenson, President – Trace Pictures

    Dee is truly awesome! This woman is a rock star voice director, kick ass casting director and an all around pleasure to deal with! Not only does she draw out the best performance from talent and communicate with the engineers, she’s able to easily collaborate with your clients and meet their needs head on. She’s a true professional! We can truly say that there’s no one like Dee out there. She’s literally jumped into client dogpiles for us to unify opinions and then there was a memorable time that she spent on the phone with us very very late in the evening trying to help us fill roles left by last minute changes. We hear tell that she is also an amazing chef, though we’ve not had the good fortune of being able to verify this for you!
