INSTRUCTOR BIO
Keri Tombazian
Keri enjoys a broad spectrum of work built over decades as one of the top booking women in voice over. She is a lady of firsts: One of the first women to crack network promos. As a young artist, she was the voice of the computer on the first Mattel home video game, the first female to guest host for Casey Kasem's Amercian Top Forty, and the first Los Angeles based voice artist to sign with Atlas Talent when they debuted in LA.
Keri is one of the rare voice over artists who made the leap from radio. She spent twenty-five years tickling the ears of Southern California residents as the host of Night Grooves on 94.7 The Wave. On television, Keri’s voice is presently heard on CBS Network, NBC, and has been the branding voice of The View, Hyundai, In & Out, and Princess Cruises; as well as voicing the role of Emily Hudson in the video game ADR1FT, and a soon to be epic sequel game about which she is sworn to secrecy. Her work is driven by the understanding that In voice over - it's not about your voice - it is about your ear.
