My voice is recognizable to millions who watched me on television, heard my dozens of radio and TV commercials, or listened to the books I read for the Lighthouse for The Blind.
I started working in voiceover when I was eight, singing commercials for Dixie Maid Sugar. Since then I've been a spokesperson for hundreds of products, a few of which are Coca-Cola, American Gas, Excedrin, Palmolive Liquid, Noxzema, Pearl Drops Toothpaste, Weinhard Beer, Simple Simon Desserts, Marine West, Oil of Olay, and Blue Cross/Blue Shield.
My Voice123 demos display a bit of my range, from authoritative spokesperson to ditzy sex kitten and beyond.
