HERE'S A LITTLE ABOUT ME AND MY VOICE OVER EXPERIENCE
America’s most recognizable female voice announcer, Randy Thomas has been winning accolades and opening doors for female voice artists for nearly 15 years. With over 20 years of experience as a radio personality in Detroit, New York, Miami, and Los Angeles, Randy has gone on to achieve her dreams as a voice-over artist, writer, and now producer.
She was the first woman to announce the Academy Awards, the Miss America Pageant, the Tony Awards, the Screen Actors Guild Awards, and, in 2004, became the first woman to announce the National Democratic Convention in Boston, Massachusetts. She has announced the Oscars seven times and is the first person ever to announce The Oscars, The Tonys, and The Emmys all in the same year.
Randy is currently the voice of CBS Television Distribution's “Entertainment Tonight” and “The Insider,” as well as the voice for Clear Channel radio stations across the country, including WASH FM Washington, DC. She is well known as the voice of Hooked on Phonics, memorably intoning the line “Call 1-800-ABC-DEFG.”

I am updating demos and seeking representation. I have a couple of VO areas I will target with very specific marketing. I have some new opportunities in e-learning and industrials. I love this business and the wonderful generous people in it. Good luck with book sales.
thanks for being my Friend!
Have a great day!

I'm happy you think I got it "going on". That's huge to hear from you! Thanks. Now the trick. Finding people to pay me for it. I have found some things in your book that I never would have thought of. My husband even put in the CD and we listened to you and Peter in the car. I'm still working my way through because I am also the mother of a 3 and 4 year old so it's a balance. I also came from radio. I spent ten years on the air in my hometown of Kansas City.
Once in a while I miss it, However I don't miss getting up at 2am to go to work. I really LOVE Vo work and have a passion for it. So I just keep moving forward. Sometimes that's all you can do.
Thanks for writing the book. I'm going to make sure that anybody who askes me about how to get into the business, get it.
Take Care

I just listened to your demo.
"now I know WHO you are"? Well then I guess I will be learning from the BEST. I just ordered your book and it will arrive any day now. I can't wait to read it. Thanks for paving the way for the ladies. We all appreciate you sharing your insight into the business as well.
Take Care
