As for my professional background, I have been in theater, TV, film, and voice recording (specialty lipsync) for over 20 years - working as an actress, dialogue coach and director.

I now have my own professional studio and am working full time as a voice talent on a variety of projects including e-learning, video games, presentations, medical IVRs, ring tones, and lip sync (works great in ProTools).

Some of my clients whose names you might recognize are: Plantronics, Abbott, CCP Games, SAI Global, Google Doubleclick, Rushmore University, TrialLine, First Solar.

Part of my voice-work in Germany was:
German voice of Baby Miss Piggy (Jim Henson Cartoon)
German voice of Joey in Dennis the Menace
German voice of Wilma in Flintstone Kids.
German voice of different actors and characters in Tiny Toones, Leave it to Beaver, Country Practice, Friends, Married with Children, Alf, The Simpsons.

Directed the German lip sync of various TV series and soaps, voiced language courses for Max Hueber Verlag, voice acting in radio theatre for the Bayerischer Rundfunk.

I am still just as excited about my work as when I first began - I love the challenge, the change, and the inspiration ...

In a half-century of writing, directing and acting in the voice work field, I have seldom met a colleague who brings as much linguistic, interpretive savvy, sensitivity and downright enthusiasm as Linda Joy. Whether on a commercial or an extended tragic or comic role, British or American English - or accent-free German - Linda is a consummate, dedicated professional, and she's fun to work with, too, and that's even more than just icing on the cake.
