Voice work is the ability to reach an audience through quality intonation. Coupled with computer skills, the human voice can be a powerful tool for researchers. This strong combination is the standard offered by Spoken Survey Audio Assist.

 

 

Spoken Survey

Spoken Survey has been creating voice files for researchers since 2000.  Formed out of the burgeoning need for live voice to accompany Automated Computer-Assisted Self-Interview software, Spoken Survey pulled her head from the corporate support services grind to “caw” her way into voice talent expression. 

Since, Spoken Survey has provided audio for studies nationwide, and most recently has hopped out into the Spanish-speaking world. 

Principally run and “voiced” by Linda McRoy, Spoken Survey draws on rich voice talents from the Northern California pool.   

Future projects include a “video assist” service to provide visuals to Automated-Computer-Assisted Surveys.

 

LINDA McROY

Linda holds two Certificates from American Conservatory Theatre in San Francisco and a Bachelor of Arts from Smith College. She has performed multiple voices in her own original one-woman shows at venues such as The Orchard Spotlight in Santa Rosa; and The Marsh, Luna Sea and The Exit Stage Left in San Francisco. At the same time she has held jobs as tradeshow coordinator, database designer, and law librarian. Her blend of creativity and technical smarts is a perfect fit for research professionals looking to enhance their research instruments with talented voice actors.

In addition Linda teaches acting and writing to children and youth, and to adults interested in “Plumbing the Depths” for healing, play and performance. Currently she is writing a screenplay entitled Second Coming.

“When I first worked with Linda all of us were nuts for her voice.  On this recent job Spoken Survey provided great talent.  I listen to the voices behind our animations and they are so diverse, but not stereotypical – very natural and pleasant.  She has developed an outstanding product and we expect to use her services again.”
