Lora Busby

English, North American

I am a professional mother of four grown children, all professional musicians. I have spent countless hours reading aloud to my children and have been successful in telephone sales for the past ten years. I won the award for Best Speaker in high school and was written up in our local newspaper for my professional delivery of Anita in West Side Story. I am a songwriter and poet, and have read my work publicly upon request. My training comes from high school drama and musical performances, as well as cheerleading and public speaking events. I am also a songwriter and record my own demos. I have been in telephone sales for the last ten years and I perform public poetry readings. My children are professional musicians and have set all of my equipment up for me. My son is the audio engineer for my voice. I am great at drawing the listener in with subtle voice nuances and 'just simmering beneath the surface' enthusiasm. I am the 'spark' that everyone invites to the party because of my contagious laughter.
