Laurie Arbore

Midwestern, Barbie, pirate, redneck, New Yorker, multiple "Wizard of Oz" voices, newspaper girl-on-the-beat from old movies, Hermione Gingold, cockney, and Yoda (if he had a sister).

Been fascinated with voiceovers and pop culture since a very young age. As kids, my cousin and I would perform our own parody spots and sketches into a tape recorder, and I've loved this business ever since! I've done interactive voicemail systems, on-hold messages with complex industrial lingo, and tons of spots and promos for radio stations. I'm also able to incorporate singing and characters whenever needed. If you're lucky, you might catch me doin' a few voices from "The Wizard of Oz" -- not that I'm a geek about it or anything. Really! ;-) Sang the role of an operatic grocery clerk in a television campaign that won an OMNI Award from the American Advertising Federation of Kansas City. Co-voiced two radio spots that each won First Place (in different years) from the Missouri Broadcasters Association. Master’s in Vocal Performance and years of musical theatre, jazz, opera, and large-market broadcasting/speaking experience -- so you'll get a gal who can not only deliver the read you need, but can turn right around and sing for you. "Laurie's ability to get into character and deliver the client's message in a conversational, believable tone is spot on. Her attention to detail and developing a presentation that enhances and delivers results is and always will be a plus." ~Scott Larson, Producer
