Cookie is now in acting school, studying under Ivana Chubbuck, one of the most sought after acting coaches(Halle Berry-Monsters ball, Brad Pitt and Charlize Theron) in Hollywood. I was a background vocalist on theatre plays that traveled across country and I had to change my voice for each scene that came up with dialogue or singing. I've also had to record my voice to a few independent films that went to dvd and my voice has been used as a backing track for Mega artist Pattie Labelle for her tour. I have a great amount of recording experience working in professional environments with some of the top artists and engineers in the business(Christina Aguilera, Babyface, Jessica simpson, Oscar Romero, Paris Hilton, and theatre voiceovers).
