"Shannon performed for my parents surprise 50th anniversary party. She was professional from the start. She requested a schedule of the event including when guests would arrive, what time they would be eating, and when they would be leaving. She asked for certain songs my parents might enjoy and collaborated a song list which included my suggestions. She put together a beautiful performance! She engage some of the guests in singing and dancing, and provided background music while the guests enjoyed their meal. She included a cake cutting ceremony complete with their wedding song. Her voice is beautiful and angelic! The guests truly enjoyed her and spoke about it for weeks after the event. Hiring Shannon was the best decision I made and I would truly recommend her for any entertainment event."

Your voice inspires chills down my spine. Your timbre, pitch and sense of timing and dynamics are exquisite, pure,  and come so naturally to you. You are comfortable with the recording process and know what you can get out of it. You have a mature, beautiful tone in your rich alto range, and the high notes are confident, strong and right on.
Thank you for this wonderful gift. Your baby will have the dear privilege of hearing you sing. 
Merry Christmas,
Bruce
 

Over the years (20+) that Sound Mechanix / Media Mechanix has been in business, we've gotten a LOT of demo tapes!! I have to say that Shannon is the ONLY one that we 'hunted down'.  I said to my partner Joey, "Hey!, we've got to find this girl!" (For some reason her information on the tape had been lost).  Anyway...,we found her, and I'm very glad we did.! Shannon, is a world-class talent, but more importantly, is a 'world-class person'!

-Paul Brokaw-Media Mechanix

Shannon is definitely the most talented and professional person that I have ever had the pleasure of working with. She is the female lead singer of my band, "Essence", as well as my vocal partner in numerous recording projects. We also work together for Broken Joey Records, an independent Record label."

"Aside from Shannon's unique and distinct singing voice, she is extremely easy to work with, and is always well prepared for the project at hand. I highly recommend her to whomever might need an incredible singer and/or voiceover artist."

Sincerely,

Ben Phillip

Shannon Rae's voice possesses warmth, sincerity, and a soulfulness that really hits home with every phrase that she delivers. I absolutely love her voice. Her performance of "Captured" is nothing less than brilliant. I believe that song is the perfect marriage of a heavenly voice and a beautiful ballad. She gets deep inside the lyric, puts her stamp on it, and makes it her own. She is a real pro, who is totally prepared once she steps behind the microphone. I look forward to the possibility of working together again in the future. Shannon, you're the best.
