Your Voiceover Career Workshop with Randy Thomas

Randy Thomas addresses a full house.

It was standing room only on May 4 at Specs Howard School of Media Arts in Southfield, as the SAG-AFTRA Michigan Local hosted the Your Voiceover Career workshop, featuring SAG-AFTRA member Randy Thomas. Randy was the first woman to live announce television’s Academy Awards’ show. She has been the voiceover announcer for the Tony Awards for more than a decade and has been the voice of TV’s Entertainment Tonight along with hundreds of commercials. Randy shared her advice on auditioning, securing union work and taking care of your voice and body. She began her career in Detroit radio, which made the evening all the more meaningful for SAG-AFTRA Michigan members and the many Specs Howard students in attendance.
