With all the Clear Channel cuts last week, or as I call it "Clear Cutting" you are bound to know someone who lost there job. I did. The best PD I ever had lost his job last week in Colorado Springs. People say it's the economy but it just reminds me of how radio has become more and more unfair. I've been out for just over 2 years now and I'm very happy these days yet sadden when I hear of another friend getting the ax just because of "the economy".

Is radio going the way of newspapers? It sure… Continue

Two years ago today my life changed forever.

One this day two years ago I lost my morning show gig. One of those pull you out in the middle of the show and flip the station while they are telling you that your services are no longer needed. At the time I was crushed. I had built up a name for myself in the country format in my hometown of Kansas City. A ten year career in broadcasting over.

However on my way home that fateful day I remember feeling very free and happy and excited that my world was open to a new adventure. I wasn't sure if… Continue

I got my first agent...YES!!!

You know the first time you get an agent you want to scream and shout! And if you know they are a REALLY GOOD ONE, You really want to yell. Except that's bad for the voice so I had just better type.

For any of you that are looking for your first agent, do your homework. I have been searching for 18 months for the perfect fit for me. I finally found it in Atlanta and I couldn't be happier!

I had a lot of talent agents come to me and then when I INVESTIGATED into their backgrounds they weren't a… Continue

Got that Imaging Bug and starting to do something about it.

Let's see next January I will have been away from radio 2 years. That was my career for 10. I always felt like I knew it so well and that I should be able to be an IMAGING VOICE!

However up until now not much has come my way. My bread and sometimes butter is in Commercial work.

However recently I met up with a voice talent named Jeremy Ryan. That's what he does mostly. I sent him some dry tracks and low and behold the demos sound great. We have teamed up and hopefully 2009 will be the year I f… Continue

I was given an alumnae award by UMKC for "most unusual career" (studio singer and voiceovers!) It was very nice of them but struck me as ...well we don't think it's unusual! And then I came back to speak for natl. conference Assoc. Women in Communication. Dallas has been good to me but I love KC. Visit my site too at www.voicesvoices.com and let's connect.

Continued success.

At 6:15pm on April 30, 2009, Eric Kinder said…: The music, as far as I'm aware, is the theme music for Voice Wars. However, people have been thinking it is for the purpose of the backing music of the contest. I can email it to you if you want.

The person to ask is Zurek for clarification about the music.

I love your story. I listened to your demo from your website, very nice. I started out in small market radio. Are you happy with your VO talent agent? I am looking for someone good to represent me. I specialize in celebrity character voices.

Best regards,
