Narrator Mimielle Marek Montoya can be convinced to read aloud sometimes if given tasty snacks & bevs, but her blurb writing skills could use work. Currently training out the pseudo-valley-girl accent, but no promises regarding the future vocal fry. Her ancestors are very much Texans, these things can't be helped.
