10 Questions with ... Molly Paige

BRIEF CAREER SYNOPSIS:

I've voiced a number of radio networks and commercials. My on air background is mostly in L.A., D.C. and syndication.

1) Do you specialize in a particular kind of voice work?

Most of the projects have been in radio imaging, commercials and non broadcast.

Cascadia Films was my first VO job. They did very technical work and even though some might find it tedious, I loved it.

Canada can occasionally be detected on certain words. But I'm working it oot.

4) How active are you with Social Media?

Moderately.

5) What's the most unusual request you've ever received?

My first VO for a network, I was "The Whisper Girl." There was a big, booming male voice saying the name of the network and then I came in with the underlying whisper. When I visited the network, I was introduced as "The Whisper Girl." I'm not sure they actually knew my name.

6) What exercises/elixirs/remedies would you recommend to keep your voice in shape?

I sing along to Keith Urban's song "Blue Ain't Your Color" a couple of times. It always puts my voice right where I want it. Then I watch the video...... because I'm only human ;)

I'm a romantic. At least it always surprises me.

What was your last non-industry job?

I helped coach and train troubled or abused horses. I also worked as a riding instructor. I had the opportunity to teach someone who had been in a wheelchair since he was a child. He said it was the closest thing to walking again that he'd experienced.
