When the girls in Fifth Grade overwhelmingly voted me ‘sexiest in class’ – for my voice, no less – my 10-year-old wiring lit me up like a Christmas tree. Destiny was set. I’ve been using that voice ever since, one way or another: As a Washington Post movie critic, reviewing every movie from ‘Dirty Dancing’ to ‘The Devil Wears Prada’ … As a speechwriter giving voice to top cabinet officials in the Obama administration … As a singer for the band Cairo Fred … And now, narrating audiobooks for audiences and loving it. Oh, and when I’m not narrating? That’s me in the neighborhood, walking my beloved lab, Zelda.
