Laurie is currently an agent at Voices Unlimited Inc. Voices Unlimited represents America's finest selection of exclusive voice actors in Chicago. On a daily basis, Laurie works directly with her actors in the studio recording and directing auditions for hundreds of clients throughout the country. She is also responsible for screening any new demos that come into the agency. VU Actors voice more than 6,000 national and regional spots and hundreds of industrial, new media and animation projects yearly. As film & Video magazine quoted, "anything you can use the human voice for, VU clients record."
In 2000, Laurie was a morning show producer in St. Louis on KSD FM and had a show on Columbia's college station called No Boys Allowed, an all women artists show from 2001-2003.
Laurie graduated from Columbia in January of 2003 and has been with Voices Unlimited since June of 2001. She is a current advisor for demos every semester for Columbia's Radio voice-over classes and for The Audition Studio's Advanced voice-over class. Voices Unlimited Inc. is a member of SAG/Aftra.
Laurie is generally available to meet students weekdays after 5:00PM (off campus).
All sessions are by appointment only. If you're interested to meet with an Industry Expert call 312.369.7280 for details.
Q: Whoa there. What are Industry Expert sessions again?
A: It's a service provided by the Portfolio Center that pairs students with working professionals in their field. An Industry Expert helps you understand what materials to put in a portfolio (and what to leave out), how to package and present your work, and how you'll know when it's ready for prime time.
