Valencia Bogardus

I have not done any professional voice over work yet although I have been in a local clothing store commercial and a nationwide Coca Cola commercial. I had speaking parts in both ads. I have done some volunteer radio work and recorded background vocals for Eminem, D-12, Slum Village and Raysee Biggs. I have also recorded lead vocals for several song writer demos. I have also done on hold and automated phone system recordings for four companies. I am currently performing a lead role in a production of "Once on This Island" which requires me to do a Carribean accent. I have taken vocal training from Suzi Marks. I have a lot of experience in theater, music, and currently work for a talent agency that represents on air news talent so I have daily exposure to vocal coaching. I have been exposed and involved in the performing arts as well as media since I was a small child. My sister holds a degree in Communications and worked as an instuctor for Specs Howard School of Broadcast Arts for years. She has shared her vast knowledge in the field with me. I also work for a talent agency where we critique Broadcast clients on a daily basis. I have done commercials, been on local radio, and performed in many venues.
