Mary Kelly

Southern belle referred to as Olympia Dukakis and Paula Dean. Hip teenager with a little blond sprinkled in. Fairy godmother that's all warm and lovable.

Her background includes over 20 years in the broadcasting industry, thousands of voiced radio/television spots, on- and off-camera work, corporate videos, sales videos, real estate videos and telephony. It was in high school that Mary Kelly began her career by volunteering for a local television station. While other students were hanging out in their dorms, Mary Kelly was working for the Telecommunications Department and radio stations during her undergraduate years. She has both a BS and Masters in Communications with special attention on Health Communications, Family Communications, Corporate Communications and New Media. She believes in continuing education and has participated in numerous coaching classes. Take a look around the MKVO studio and you will find different microphones, several monitors, Coca-Cola knick knacks, sports memorabilia and… * Legendary Mackie mixing console * Miktek C7 microphone * Focal CMS 40 studio monitors * A fully stocked rack with brands such as BBE, Symetrix, Tascam * File transfers via FTP, MP3, WAV and snail mail if needed * Specialized soundproof studio—always good to eliminate ambient noise * Vintage Tascam 8 track and 2 track reel-to-reels—not that we use them anymore but remember those days? * A shelf full of Reese’s Cups and Hershey bars for the late night munchies * Favorite Teddy Roosevelt and Dr. Seuss quotes * AND a fresh coat of orange paint—GO Vols! While still in her thirty's, Mary Kelly became a widow with two young boys which emphasized the importance of family, motivation, ability to overcome and a strong work ethic. Her outlook is to put others first and to demonstrate integrity in all that is done. As a full time working voice talent, she recognizes the importance of playing as a team to create the best product for your client and audience. Her adaptability and attention to direction will help your project flow smoothly creating a fun and unique atmosphere...a true gem of the south.
