For as long as I can remember, people have been saying "Jessica-- you have an AMAZING voice. Do something about it." So about 2 years ago, I finally did. I decided to go ahead and make my demo!!! I submitted it to agents and I kid you not-- I got phone calls THAT VERY DAY. Ever since, I have been booking jobs for radio & television commercials, corporate video's and DVD's, and in-store demo displays, just to name a few.
