The voice over business is NOT an easy one to break into, but don't tell that to
award-winning VO artist Randy Thomas, who's worked the Academy Awards seven
times throughout her career, and is the first person to announce the Oscars, Emmys,
and Tonys in the same year. Randy is also the first woman ever to announce the
Oscars.

Her resume is as long as the state of California, including when she made history as
the half-time announcer for Super Bowl 44, introducing The WHO. She's been the
voice of ABC's Nightline, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Kennedy Center Honors,
Democratic Nomination, and more. Please give a warm welcome to Randy Thomas,
who joins our show today to talk about her legendary career and sometimes
complicated life.

Randy grew up listening to NY radio as a kid, and that's exactly where she started her
career, on the radio. Needless to say, she's had one of the most successful
announcing careers in the business, but as one of the first women, she says it wasn't
always easy. And neither was her personal life. Randy's youngest brother was
murdered, which turned her family up side down. On top of that, she describes her
early years as deeply dysfunctional. She talks about it, and how her career kept her
grounded. Today, she continues to work, and is starting her own VO company, too.
Unfortunately, she lost her home this year in the Palisades fire, and we'll talk about
how she's coping with that, too.

Please join #DeborahKobyltLIVE on all video and audio podcast platforms, and invite
your friends, too. I'm your host, #DeborahZaraKobylt, and it's my pleasure to welcome
you here.
