At the age of 13, Adriann's unique voice was discovered by a local Disc Jockey in their small Californian town and started recording DJ tags. That opportunity blossomed into voice tags for local radio and television commercials, and a few walk-on bits and extras in the film industry.  As none of the small parts were enough to make it in showbiz, and a college education with a stable business career was more in tune with her parental guidance, the voice and film artist industry was left behind. Now that her career has reached retirement and her three kids are raised, it is time to restart a once loved interest and give it all she's got!
