Joy Waters Fowler | Voice over actor

I’m a wife, mom, daughter, sister, friend, aunt, and niece who is perhaps a little too dependent on coffee and my MacBook. I love details, logistics, and complete spontaneity, and I can throw down a spreadsheet or write a song with the same amount of pleasure. Hey, life is fun and too short not to use both sides of your brain! Here’s the rest of the story if you want it... Joy Fowler served as the Vocal Instructor at the acclaimed Buford High School through 2020 since 1992 - when she arrived in Buford, Georgia along with her then fiancé, Chris. Together, they dove all in to invest in building an elite Fine Arts program, and twenty-eight years later, the Fowlers are still singing, smiling, laughing, and loving life right where it all started. Having grown up in Atlanta, Georgia, Mrs. Fowler is a product of Georgia's secondary and collegiate choral programs and participated as a student in most of the fun events she still gets to share with students today -- including Georgia All State Chorus, Georgia's Governor's Honors Program, and One Act Play Competition -- all of which she dearly loved as a student and excelled in; things that set the course for her future. As a Music/Vocal Performance major, Mrs. Fowler was the recipient of the prestigious Montgomery Scholarship for Vocal Performance at Georgia State University where she studied privately with the incredible Betty Boone, gleaned all she could from Vocal Labs with Florence Kopleff, and sang under the choral direction of Dr. John Haberlen. These days at BHS, Mrs. Fowler stays busy doing behind the scenes work for the Choral Music Department including preparing students for All State Chorus and teaching an aural skills class after school in the fall, coaching the Girls Trio and Girls Soloist for Literary in the winter months, organizing and directing the Miss Buford Scholarship Pageant throughout the year (until 2019), and she has been writing and directing the Annual Spring Variety Show since 1995. Occasionally, she will still sing at events in Buford, though she thoroughly enjoys watching her students soar. She is particularly excited for the BHS Girls Trio she coaches – which has won the GHSA State Championship nine of the last ten years, and has won the state title for seven consecutive years; an all-time, all-classification GHSA record. As an Atlanta-based Christian recording artist, Mrs. Fowler has been singing since the age of two when she began exploring her talent in her father’s pulpit. Comfortable in any vocal genre, be it stage, screen, pop, country, R&B, gospel, or classical, she has appeared on numerous albums, arranging and recording in both Atlanta and Nashville. Mrs. Fowler has been featured in corporate and civic events on local and national levels for clients such as Primerica, Cingular Wireless, the Georgia State Legislature, and she has appeared with Phil Driscoll, Babbie Mason, Newsong, Anthony Evans, The Martins, noted Christian speakers John Maxwell, Josh McDowell, Carole Kent, and John Trent, Senators Max Cleland and Zell Miller, former Speaker Newt Gingrich, and former First Ladies Rosalyn Carter and Barbara Bush. She has been a guest soloist with various choral and orchestral groups in Georgia. She was featured as the guest soloist for the Lighting of the Tree at the Georgia Governor’s Mansion in 2004 and the 2005 Southern Governors Association Conference at the request of Georgia Governor Sonny Perdue. Mrs. Fowler appeared in the 2001 music video for the Georgia Baptist Convention Better Bridges project; A Classic Case, the 2001 studio recording and video project with Three Mo' Tenors' Victor Robertson; and the 2003 women’s Bible study video series, The Amazing Collection with Kay Arthur. Her work for Cartoon Network can be heard on television regularly. Her voiceover clients include AT&T, Click2List, Moore Visions, and of course, her very own beloved Buford Fine Arts Department. Since going back to her Gospel roots in 2007, Mrs. Fowler has released three independent Christian albums; My Savior First of All, Joy, and Into Your Promise. Additionally, she appears with nephew Jason Fowler on the title track of his 2016 release, I Fall In, and performs with Jason regularly – including recently at Atlanta Fest 2016. Mrs. Fowler has remained a frequent soloist for many area churches and travels throughout the United States in evangelistic outreach as a solo artist, speaker, and as a worship leader with Go Tell Ministries Evangelistic Crusades. In the fall of 2018, she traveled to Moscow, Russia to share her expertise teaching master classes at Solo Dei Gloria for Russian worship leaders and musicians. In 2019, she performed with voice of Atlanta with Adam Levine and Maroon 5 for the Super Bowl LIII Pepsi Halftime Show. Mrs. Fowler was the producer of the Miss Atlanta Scholarship Pageant (Miss America Organization) from 2013-2019 and is the Director of Becca's Closet Atlanta, a 501(c)3 that provides formal dresses to high school girls who cannot afford a prom or homecoming dress. In 2018, she released her first authorized biography, “Borrowed Faith,” recanting her dad’s tales from the pulpit, and in 2020, she will release her second book; an engaging authorized biography of a retired Georgia State Legislator. A true Atlanta native, Mrs. Fowler lives in Buford with her husband of 27 years, Chris, their two freshly adult children, and their two fur-babies. As retirement from education looms in the near distance for Chris, Joy is looking for new ways to reinvent and use the skill set she’s been given and looks forward to recording a new album project as The Fowler Family with Grammy winning producer Gordon Mote in the fall of 2020.
