FAQs

How did you get started in the voiceover business?

As a jingle singer in Nashville, I compiled a GREAT demo tape of jingles I had done using a childs voice. When I moved back to LA, a cartoon director whom I had previously contacted, made a call to ICM (an agency here in LA) on my behalf. They immediately signed me and I have been with that agency for the past 15 years. The agency is now DPN.

How old are you?

Yes...I do have blonde hair sometimes. (next question...please)

How do I get into voiceovers?

The first thing that I always recommend is, if you are an actor,  start by taking a class in voiceover. If you are not an actor, then it would be best to start with a beginning acting class.  It helps if you live in a media city like New York, Los Angeles or Chicago where a lot of commercials & animation is recorded.  THEN, put together a great DEMO CD and get an agent.  Voiceover is just one of many avenues that an actor's may choose to pursue.  Good luck!

Do you have everything that you want?

I'm thrilled with my life so far. I love my house, I love my husband, I love my work, I love my music, I love my dogs and chickens,  I love my family. And I am grateful for everything.

How long have you been doing children's music and what is your latest project?

I wrote my first children's song when I was 9 years old, called "My Dog's My Buddy". You can hear it on my cd "What A Way To Play!". I love singing children's music and really enjoy performing live in front of kids. That's what I call REAL fun! I always continue to write new songs. Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night and a new song has just been born in my brain!  Please see my website for the upcoming concert list.  My latest project is my kid's book "Baby Banana and the Licorice Tree".

What's happening with Baby Banana?
