We’ve all been there, am I right? Actually, this show is about women who have dated guys who later revealed to be psychos… no, I mean really psychotic. I almost could’ve had my story on the show, but my instincts got the best of me and I ended up turning down a date with a murderer (He was not happy about this – long scary story). Anyhow, look out for the pilot episode of “I Dated a Psycho” airing on the Biography Channel. I voiced the narration. Very creepy… and entertaining of course!

I did the voice over for the Vagisil sponsored intro to the trailer “Half the Sky.”

Half the Sky: Turning Oppression into Opportunity for Women Worldwide is a four-hour television series for PBS and international broadcast, shot in 10 countries: Cambodia, Kenya, India, Sierra Leone, Somaliland, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Liberia and the U.S. Inspired by Nicholas Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn’s book, the documentary series introduces women and girls who are living under some of the most difficult circumstances imaginable — and fighting bravely to change them. Traveling with intrepid reporter Nicholas Kristof and A-list celebrity advocates America Ferrera, Diane Lane, Eva Mendes, Meg Ryan, Gabrielle Union and Olivia Wilde, the film reflects viable and sustainable options for empowerment and offers an actionable blueprint for transformation.

I loved this article on Storytelling!

This was such a busy month that I didn’t even get a chance to post my VO booking wins as they came in. So here’s the summary:

I voiced a spoof ad for Jimmy Kimmel Live
I think the writer do such a great job with the spoofs – I’m happy that I finally booked one and it was quite hilarious if I do say so myself.

I voiced two characters in a TBA videogame for Sony Playstation

I used to love playing Parappa the Rappa!

I voiced a web video for The Weather Channel

and another web video for AirBnB
I love Airbnb – you can find amazing vacation rental gems on there and it’s usually cheaper than a hotel!

and even another web video for Trulia

Trulia is also another helpful website if you’re house hunting!!

I feel very grateful for all of the work coming my way. Now, I’m off to do my taxes!

It was such a joy to attend the Annie Awards and have the show that I voiced for win! It was a very fun night with amazingly talented people and an engaging and entertaining awards ceremony too! Below are the wins. Congratulations!!!!!
