Lindsey Graham

Standard American (without any regional accent), New York (Bronx, Long Island, Upstate), Boston (South Boston is not as natural for me as North), Southern (Early 1940s to modern), Irish (Southern Region), British, classical American accent. My best impersonation is Judy Garland when she was in her young adulthood (can sound just like her Dorothy Gale if need be). I also have a great Margaret Hamilton impersonation as the Wicked Witch and have done Betty Davis and Mary Pickford as well. The best character I can play is a young adult or female teenager because that's just my voice. But I specifically perform ditzy, intelligent, cute, girl-next-door or the cool girl in class.

I have been on the radio as a singer while promoting theater performances and as a voice-over artist for one PSA when I was in school but, honestly, the majority of my radio/voice over experience came when I was Miss New Hampshire in the Miss America Organization. Over the radio, I spoke on behalf of sponsors, organizations, our scholarship program and my own activities. From doing well at the competition, I also got national coverage at press conferences that I spoke at and began hosting events as an MC when the competition ended. The majority of my past recordings has thus been used as promotional tools--therefore, I was trusted to sell product and company ideas. Summa Cum Laude Graduate of Fordham University where I majored in Broadcast Journalism and Theater Performance. Speech training through Tom Burke Voice Studio in NYC. Vocal training through Tania Travers in NYC. 16 years of on-stage experience as an actress. 7 years of experience in front of a camera as an actress. 15 years of experience as a professional singer--from Carnegie Hall to off-Broadway musicals to singing as the soloist for the Boston Pops. I have an AT-2020 USB microphone that connects to my Mac and I use Audacity as my recording software. To speak in heightened text clearly to hundreds of people requires a huge vocal extension. To express passion and charged ideas takes enormous vocal range and energy whatever the format it's played for. And to sustain this kind of work again and again over years takes a combination of consummate craft and dedication. To speak and then sing, to sing and then speak, physically to exert yourself on-stage and then go into speaking or singing, are demanding activities that require skill and stamina. I quickly learned that the chameleon-like nature of playing roles also meant extending the voice and I have been working on that process--and taken it very seriously--for years. Being a musical stage actor specifically, I have developed vocal techniques that enabled me to perform night after night without any strain to my vocal chords. I know a lot about voice health and take care of my instrument properly to avoid any performance problems. Another aspect about me that you should know is that I have dedicated myself to more than 3,500 performance/event commitments and have never missed a single one. If I give my word to a project then I will be with it until the end!
