My name is Suzka. I have a storyline podcast with a number of characters. I am looking for a female voice with a thick Puerto Rican accent. She's spicy, young (25). I've made it easy. Recording your scripted voice can be done on your own phone and then emailed to me. If you have any questions let me know. Thank you.

Yes, Rain ☔️ or shine🌤 , local food lovers and enthusiasts from all over the world were there. We sold out and for that we were grateful. We worked as a resilient team and proudly shared our culture, folklore, music, and a taste of our delicious cuisine and even, the traditional ”coquito” at the Spirit Garden (only) . Grateful for our inspiring and therapeutic music that kept us going till closing time. With lot of pride and commitment, we all,as part of two resilient teams got the job done! 💪🏼💪🏼🇵🇷 Priceless!
