In my 33 years of producing music, I have found Susan Calloway’s voice to be the “needle in the haystack” for the following reasons:
1) She’s got a killer voice: “Great pitch, phrasing, &style”
2) She’s a chameleon: “Don’t try to pigeon hole her voice unless you’re stupid”
3) She’s got a work ethic that won’t quit: “No attitude”
4) She’ll make a hero out of you
5) She’s a team player: “Out to win for everyone”
5) Her musicianship and composing skills gives you a valuable edge in the creative process
6) She’s a quick study: “With a twelve cylinder brain”
7) In summary, Ms. Calloway is the nuclear bomb in your arsenal of talent

I’ve had the pleasure to hire the voice of Susan Calloway many times on various TV, Radio and Digital commercials and projects. Like any broadcast producer, I’m faced with countless options when casting and selecting talent. We consider ourselves lucky to find voices that make our job easy. Susan makes it easy. Not just a great voice. She’s a voice actor and artist. She understands the commercial script, our product, the demographic and the need. This ability is what has made her a preferred voice for our work on several accounts nationwide, time and time again, year after year.

“From home insulation to health insurance, Susan has been a “go-to” voice for many projects. She’s also a total pro in the booth. Clients love her. Production people love her. And creative teams love her for making us look good.”

“SuCal” is like having a high-end recoding artist on your tracks. Everytime I call on her the result is far better than my expectations. Her qualityof voice, choice of high end class A gear to record herself with are actually dwarfed by her compositional ideas which she brings to all her performances. For this reason I try to leave as much room as possible for her, but in the instance where a client is very focused she can put as much into it as if it were her own song. Her patience to continuecarving when need be is downright heroic. When working with SuCal I really feel as if I'm working with not only a singer but a collaborator. I think anyone in the advertising biz is "lucky" to use her while you can because she may end up in grammy land . . Utilize her while you can boys and girls... A top call in my book.

“Warm, sincere, and versatile: I loved working with Susan while she was the voice of Hallmark. She always understood the tone of what we were doing, and delivered again and again “

“Susan Calloway is an extraordinary singer & VO talent. Actually calling her a "singer" does her a disservice: I hire her to not only sing her parts, but vocal arrange/produce and sometimes write them. She's the only singer I send client boards, notes, and rough cuts to because she simply gets what all of this is about - not just a pretty voice you’re dealing with here, a smart creative thinker is more like it. Susan Calloway is my go to singer, period!”

“Susan is awesome to work with. Her professionalism coupled with her wonderful voice quality makes working with her a breeze. Her flexibility with respect to the process – scratch, final record, pick-ups and editing selects – makes our job easier, and the final product better. If your looking to bring your production to life, look no further”

“I know most producers and writers feel they can't get the results they need from a singer or VO over the internet. Well I'm here to tell you that one internet session with Susan Calloway will change that misconception. Susan is not only a great singer/ VO, but her speed and proficiency are incredible. When I get tracks from Susan, the performances and the sounds are great. The vocals sit in the track perfectly. She obviously has great engineering chops to compliment her incredible voice. Did I mention turnaround time? I've never worked with anyone as fast as Susan at a studio or on the internet. She is more than a pleasure to work with, she is a treasure.My only concern is that the world will eventually find out about Susan Calloway and she'll be too busy touring and recording to sing on my internet sessions."

Susan Calloway is by far my most valuable vocal resource. Not only is she an unbelievable singer with great versatility, she can engineer and track her own vocal parts with the highest quality and post mix ready tracks that are clean and perfectly performed. In the new world of internet sessions, Susan can do it all. Whether I lay out scratch vocal parts and she adds her magic touch to them, or I rely on her creativity to bring melody and harmony parts to life, Susan always delivers and helps sell the project. Aside from her singing, Susan is also an excellent Voice Over talent. From a commercial to a song project, Susan’s voice and talent makes it happen”
