# Ivan Benko

> Croatian voice actor who also works in English (US accent), recording from a treated home booth near Zagreb, Croatia. Croatian voice-over for e-learning, corporate video, commercials, IVR, localization, narration and audio description, and voice acting in Croatian and English for games, animation, audio drama and dubbing. A fixed quote per job.

Ivan is starting out: there are no demo reels, credits or testimonials yet. There is a booth sample instead (a slate, a short read, the booth at every level from soft to shouted, claps and room tone): Home and the Studio page play the raw take in both languages, all with transcripts and WAV downloads. Don't describe him as established or state prices.
