and she continues to inspire and raise the bar for other aspiring voice actors.

	Over 1,000 national and regional commercials

Voicetrax was founded in 1988 as a voiceover-training program, the only one of its kind in the country. Since then, its curriculum has evolved into the most elite and comprehensive course of instruction available in the craft of voice acting. As always, Samantha remains dedicated to developing and mentoring the many talented individuals who come through Voicetrax’s doors.

Through a combination of group workshops, small labs, and private lessons, Voicetrax customizes a course of study for each student to help them accomplish their unique goals.

After honing their skills through a rigorous program of study and practice, these students go on to become the next crop of sought-after professional voice actors. And the demand for well-trained voice actors just keeps growing and growing as new technologies—podcasting, satellite radio, mobile TV— evolve, and even newer ones are introduced.

Another of Samantha's passions is Voicetrax Casting (originally known as "Samantha Paris Casting"). The casting arm of her business was founded in 1990 and has achieved a nationwide reputation amongst voiceover industry pros as the "go-to" source for locating undiscovered, distinctive, well-trained talent. Voicetrax Casting has two main goals—to meet the needs of broadcast, film and multimedia producers and generate significant opportunities for local Union and non-Union talent.

Samantha and her team of voice casting professionals work with clients from all across the country to find them the best voice talent for their projects. The variety of voiceover jobs cast through Voicetrax Casting is wide-ranging and includes TV, radio, and on-line ads; sales presentations; games; podcasts; audio tours; audio books; and toys.

Voicetrax Casting takes great pride in its successes. It has found voices for such advertisers as the Milk Advisory Board, Chevron, Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, the United States Postal Service, Cisco, Countrywide Home Loans, VISA, Macy's, Mervyn's, Toyota, Fisher-Price, AT&T, Starbucks, Sony, the California State Lottery, Hewlett Packard, Autodesk, and Ebay. The long roster of casting clients includes many of the nation's top advertising agencies, including Goodby, Silverstein & Partners; BBDO West; BBDO Chicago; JWT San Francisco; Foote, Cone & Belding; Y & R; and TBWA-Chiat/Day, as well as producers and studios such as Industrial Light & Magic, Vivendi-Universal and Macy's Broadcast West.

Voicetrax Casting has also located voice talent for well-known video game companies such as Flagship Studios and Blizzard Entertainment; and countless industrial projects, including instructional videos, infomercials, voicemail systems, and websites.

Most recently, to meet the growing demand for on-line access to highly-skilled, versatile, reliable voice talent, Voicetrax Casting launched Voice Yenta, an innovative web-based casting service. Voice Yenta provides producers with a convenient, inexpensive way to find the right actors for their non-Union projects. Its meticulously screened talent roster includes many of the top non-Union voiceover professionals in the country.
