On November 6th, 2017, we aired the final episode of our radioplay series, Cryptic Canticles presents The Dracula Radioplay Experience our retelling and reimagining of the Bram Stoker classic novel. In December, our creative team (Liz Rishel, Gwen Schmidt, Judy Kirby, Sean Lenhart and I) gathered to hold our final behind-the-scenes episode, aka ‘Bram’s Lounge’, to chat about the production process and reveal upcoming plans for our team including a live performance of the spooky operetta Menotti’s “The Medium”, in which I will be singing the role of  ‘Monica’! #dracularadioplay #vo #opera #menotti

Wishing all the attendees of Voxy Summit 2018: “A Conference for Women in Voiceover” a fabulous recovery week! This weekend’s conference, with the panels, workshops, hangs, and camaraderie, was just what I needed right about now, and a great way to start to the year. With our combined enthusiasm, energy, spirit, shared tips, biz, survival and success stories, I can’t wait to see/hear what’s next:) #voboss #voxyladies #vo #gameaudio #VOXYSummit #ladies

512tech/Austin American-Statesman  used a photo of our panel “Using Professional Voice Actors in Your Indie Games” for the recent article “The state of Austin’s gaming sector: Stable, diverse in size, due for some shakeups.“ Photo details: “At right, Frank Coppersmith leads a panel discussion on voice-over actors’ involvement in video games with Alexander Brandon, Bonnie Bogovich, TJ O’Leary and Kelley Huston at Capital Factory in Austin..

At last!!! I can finally talk about the awesome voice project I have been working on with Amplify. It’s name is “Aqua”, “a reading adventure in language, decoding and comprehension.

With all the voice acting, singing, and opera shenanigans I have been up to lately, I finally took some time to update my Voice Acting and Vocal Performance page as well as created some reels and collections for my SoundCloud Playlists.  Still needs a bit of work, and lots of fine-tuning, but at least now it’s not a year out of date:)  Do you need any human, cat, chicken, or critter vocals for your upcoming project? Send me an email, I am happy to chat about collaborating! #gameaudio #vo

I had the pleasure of singing on another beautiful choral arrangement by May Claire for the Materia Collective album “SPIRA: Music from Final Fantasy X”. She asked us all to video record ourselves singing our parts, and here is the result! Enjoy, “Hymn of the Fayth”!  – Get the track on Bandcamp – Get the album “SPIRA: Music from Final Fantasy X: Besaid Mix – Watch the Youtube Music Video 

While in San Fran for GDC last year, Brennan Anderson asked “Hey, can you pop by my studio during the week to record some… cat sounds?” and obviously, I said YES. Turns out it was for a cat music track for “Cat Sorter VR”.  You can finally hear the finished track on Soundcloud:) “This is an original choral piece from the game Cat Sorter VR. This song begins playing when you are short on time, and there are too many cats on your conveyor belt! Featuring Bonnie Bogovich, Grey Robbins, and Kurt Heiden as the cats!”
