Voice Demos & Credits
“Balinder and I first met when I cast her as the narrator for a radio serial adaptation of Rohinton Mistry’s “A Fine Balance”. She had such skill in the subtle art of narration, projecting all the nuances of emotion with the slightest of variations, that it was hard for me to imagine that she was actually a maths teacher, not an actor, by profession.
Since then, I have recommended her as an actor to many. She has served as a cultural consultant on several projects as well, since her research skills are considerable and her reach into her community comes from a place of knowledge and respect.”Kathleen Flaherty — CBC Radio
“Your narration and storytelling of The Great Night of Shiva was exquisite! The broadcaster was impressed, as well as the audience. Looking forward to working with you in the future.”Peter Campbell, Producer/Director
