Marilyn Billone

middle-age female, senior female

I voiced the character Bertha the Humpback Whale in the recent 20th Century Fox film, "The Dolphin--Story of a Dreamer" (animation produced by Dolphin Films). The movie was selected as one of the top 20 prenomimated films in the "Best Animated Film Feature" category, reviewed by the Oscar Academy for the 2009 Awards. The film debuted in theaters worldwide in 2009, and was released on DVD December 2010 (see IMDB). During 2010, I provided the senior female voice for a national TV commercial for 1Life Insurance. During summer 2009, I also completed the narrations for two audio books for Action Audio, each 200+ pages. In spring 2009, I provided the voice for an upscale furniture commercial (30 sec) for a local TV station in Grand Rapids, Michigan. In summer 2008, I voiced a movie theater commercial (as spokesperson for Palm Beach Neurological Center) that was promoted by Widescreen Creative Media in movie theaters throughout the West Palm Beach area. I have also provided my voice tracks for phone messaging systems, and in February and March 2008, I was featured on talk radio station WJFK (106.7 fm) in the Washington D.C. metro area, providing commercial voice overs for such sponsors as Verizon Fios and Jiffy Lube. Writing voiceover script comes naturally to me and is a definite plus, as it can easily come with the package for each project. Most of all, I always give my professional best. Voice over training by Clio and Tony Award winning instructor Dan Levine (2005). A Bachelor of Science Degree in Community and Human Services from the State University of New York, Empire State College (1978). I use my own sound studio, with the help of an iMac with an Intel Core 2 Duo and the software program GarageBand, complete with an M-Audio Fast Track Pro interface. I also use an AKG Acoustics Perception 200 condenser microphone for true professional sound and delivery. I can write and edit scripts. I can transmit mp3 files, or other audio files, via e-mail or ftp site, or by mail/Fed Ex services...whatever your preference. In 2009, I voiced a character in the 20th Century Fox animated movie, "The Dolphin--Story of a Dreamer," which debuted in theaters worldwide in 2009, and was released on DVD December 2010 (see Internet Movie Database). The movie was selected as one of the top 20 prenomimated films in the "Best Animated Film Feature" category, reviewed by the Oscar Academy for the 2009 Awards. Since 2005, I have professionally voiced for ads in movie theaters, answering service messages, radio, and TV commercials, as well as two fictional audio books for Action Audio. My voice-over demos provide a broad range of character and script. I am confident you will like what you hear.
