Miranda VerHoef

British, Irish, Mexican, African,

I'm a 53 year old cover band singer from the 80's Back in the day,I would go into a studio,sing a couple of jingles, they'd write me check and I was outta there. Twenty years later, I went back to school to learn the new way of voice over. I have my studio at home now, I've learned to mix my own sound and thanks to Voice123, I am enjoying a great second career. I had a radio show at The Evergreen State College called Miranda's Healthful Hints. I studied performing arts for two years. I sang and managed my band for 8 years and performed up and down the west coast from San Diego to Nome, Alaska. I have played a variety of lead parts in community theaters over the last 15 years as well as the Master of Ceremonies for more events than I can count. I recently took an intensive and incredibly informative voice over course from Janice Dean, a Master of Fine Art Professor (not the FOX news Meteorologist, although I'm sure she has some sage advice). I also took her marketing course which leans heavily toward Voice.123...so here I am. I have also taken a webinar on the use of the Audacity mixer. An all day course at Buffalo Casting, Dallas with Casting director, Paul Weber. I have a home studio in a lovely blue room that now has not so lovely acoustic foam on two sides of a corner, to which I face.(hum) I speak into a microphone made specifically for speaking, called a MXJ 900 that plugs into a Scarlett 1080i board that inturn plugs into my laptop that runs the mixer called Audacity. I am currently working on producing a fun and casual cooking show from my home. As the mother of boys I have a houseful of hungry young men at any given time. I speak homemade, healthy grub. Football players and musicians, and all wakeboarders. I speak grabs, tantrums and toeside jumps. I'm everybody's Mom and like nobody's mom. I sing the national anthem for football games and MC the Christmas tree lighting in our town. I can drive a school bus and substitute teach. Or as my husband calls me, "Lead singer and driver of the Winnebago". Raised an Air Force brat, married and Air Force pilot. I speak acronyms.
