Emily Butterfly

I am an avid whistler, bird caller,I can purrr and meow like a cat,I can sound like I am speaking under water too

My voice career bloomed when I was invited to produce and host a radio program for children at the University Of Oregon. I enjoyed 3 wonderful years of weaving stories, songs and magical adventures for 2 hours every Saturday. I then moved to the Bay Area and began creating puppets and puppet shows with several Puppet troupes. I have toured the United States performing and am a proud director of The Big Tadoo Puppet Crew and The Bay Area Puppetry Guild. I currently tour through out Alameda County Ca with a show that I co-wrote and direct. This production is a part of the national Safe Routes To Schools Program. It has been performed for over 50, 000 elementary school children and is booked through 2013. I play several roles in the show: including the lead role/narrator. I also perform regularly for Toddlers and Adults. I have a very unique storytelling approach, performing with many different character voices and also have a strong Half Man/Half Lady act, with original material that showcases my vocal range and personality. My Voice Over career began when my work as a puppeteer caught the eye and ear of the co-founder of Free Range Studios http://www.freerange.com/. I have been blessed to have my voice included in many wonderful projects with Free Range.
