Hello, Bunny Pros!
Bunny Studio has one thing that sets it apart from other platforms, and that is our Quality Control team. We trust in their expertise and knowledge to help us determine which deliverables can be approved right away, and which others need a little bit more tender love and care.
Now, we understand that sometimes it might seem you’re not getting the feedback of actual human beings, but instead, robots!
In this article, we’ll be introducing our current agents so you can put a face to the name that you see in your reviews. Our agents for Voice projects have years of experience in the area of audio production, post-production, and voiceovers themselves! Don’t hesitate to share your questions with us through the Community, and the team will be there to help you find a solution to any quality issue you experience, be it related to projects, or just in your day-to-day work and setup.
Our team is composed of six audio professionals, distributed in different parts of the world. To get to know them better, we asked them questions beyond their professional formation.
