My Voice Experience

Born on August 19th in the town of Aliquippa, Pennsylvania, a small suburb just outside of Pittsburgh— the original home of that brilliant composer— the late Henry Mancini— Bridget Petrella (pictured to the right of her mom) a self-proclaimed "human plate spinner" has literally run the gamut in the entertainment industry, as far as jobs go— she has certainly "done it all" and has probably even "said it all".

A nationally published cartoonist, illustrator, graphic designer, political and editorial cartoonist, magazine publisher, web designer, radio talk show host, producer and personal publicist to numerous daytime television actresses and one professional wrestler, who shall remain nameless— (currently she is handling an exclusive celebrity clientele which includes Daytime Emmy Nominee Fiona Hutchison, Television and Film Actress Adrienne Wilkinson and Film Actress Sonia Satra), Petrella remains quite engaged within each and every aspect of their rather extensive careers.

Over the years as both a personal publicist and manager, Petrella has developed an extended array of major entertainment industry contacts. Her work within the daytime industry is highly revered. In 1997, she began publishing UPBEAT Entertainment News, a witty celebrity-driven entertainment publication with a philosophical twist. The magazine was distributed in Pittsburgh and eventually branched out to include much smaller distributions in New York, Los Angeles and Cleveland. UPBEAT Entertainment News is currently being published and syndicated online (via iSyndicate, YellowBrix, GlobalVision, NewsCom and Comtex News Service) and has since expanded it’s readership to well over 13 million subscribers both daily and weekly. "Fiona once asked me how UPBEAT has changed my life. ‘It’s been an unbelievable ride,’ I said to her. ‘It’s like savoring the taste of that first home run. You know, almost instinctively, by the sound of the crack in the bat— that this one is headed for the parking lot."

There's a small plaque on the bulletin board next to my usually cluttered desk— a quote from Oliver Wendell Holmes. It reads— 'The mind once expanded to the dimensions of larger ideas, never returns to its original size.' That is precisely what UPBEAT Entertainment News has come to symbolize for me. It's about larger ideas, taking the thought process back to a lighter, philosophical wit— but enhancing it all with real emotion, the stuff you can only get from the soul. There's a devout sense of passion present in the columns of my publication— it's deeply rooted within the synergy that we all seem to share. UPBEAT has allowed an extraordinary group of writers the distinct opportunity to create something that redefines the entertainment industry— with a multitude of fascinating layers. I recently thought about all of the deadlines and layouts— and then I paused. I reflected on all of the people I've met over the past five years— some of which have become very dear friends to me.

It's difficult for many of us to convey our innermost thoughts, fears, grueling life experiences, dating mishaps, family secrets— and all of the gooey emotional stuff in between— and somehow manage to find the humor in it all. I'm happy that we get to do just that." Petrella, along with her business partner and friend, Sonia Satra recently founded Nite Owl Productions, Ltd., an innovative independent film and television production company with a deeply committed foresight to the future of both the film and television industry.
