For nearly a decade, I worked with one of the best known entertainers and interpreters of song. I learned valuable lessons and skills as a "Raelette" while singing and touring with the legendary Ray Charles. Impeccable phrasing, tonal quality and storytelling were but a few of his strengths. I used every opportunity to listen to Ray and develop those skills, with the goal of becoming a key contributor and voice actor.
