And thank you for asking which AP watch I’d like. I happen to fancy the the AP Ladies’ Millenary. No really…thank you for asking.

For fans of The Real World (and Jerry Springer) tune in to the premiere of the new season of Bad Girls Club which premieres tonight on Oxygen. I’ve been fortunate enough to be chosen to do the voice for all the promos aka unleashing MY inner bad girl. After seeing the promos for all the upcoming episodes, I’ve decided that my greatest nightmare would revolve around being present at the open casting call for this show. There could be a reality show based on casting for this reality show. Terrifying.

“Breaking and Entering”In the return of Oxygen’s hit reality series the “Bad Girls Club” drama follows seven unapologetic and outrageous women as they come together to live in a Los Angeles mansion. Living in Hollywood with a houseful of girls results in some explosive moments and chaotic confrontations.
In the first episode, the seven new bad girls break into their new home and waste no time ganging up on their least favorite roommate. The first night out proves to be a disaster when the girls get kicked out of three clubs in a row, for fighting. While their brazen behavior is endlessly entertaining, they all claim they want to change.

Posted on 10/14/2008 in General News
NEW YORK – September 9, 2008 – The mother of all fathers, hip-hop star Coolio returns from life on the road and tries to get his family life in order in Oxygen’s new docu-soap series “Coolio’s Rules,” premiering Tuesday, October 28 at 10PM. The series is set for six one-hour episodes.
With three platinum albums, six top ten hits – now Coolio goes from rap daddy to big daddy as his four teenage kids move in and he finds being a parent the biggest challenge of his life. In “Coolio’s Rules,” Coolio is waking up to find out that his kids have a lot to learn and life isn’t exactly everything he had anticipated. And Coolio, with his irreverent methods of discipline, will be just the one to show them.
Viewers will see the trials and tribulations of this family man as he tries to balance his role as a musician, a single parent raising four teenagers (Artisha 20, Brandi 20, Artis 18, Jackie 15), a bachelor looking for love, and as an entrepreneur when he launches his own catering business with his children.
“Oxygen is thrilled to continue the momentum of its record-breaking year with an honest yet unconventional family series like ‘Coolio’s Rules’,” says Amy Introcaso-Davis, Senior Vice President, Original Programming and Production, Oxygen Media. “Coolio is part showman, part businessman, part charmer and all loving father- we celebrate him for his truly live out loud personality.”
In addition to the series’ look into Coolio’s whirlwind life, fans can catch more of him and his kids on oxygen.com where they can view exclusive and in depth interviews as well as never-before-seen photos of the family.
“Coolio’s Rules” premieres in conjunction with the October 21st launch of his latest album “Steal Hear.” Demonstrating music is a family affair, Coolio will be on the road promoting his latest tracks with his son Artis, who is starting his own rap career. Fans can see Coolio’s perform starting in September in the US and in Europe.
Coolio, the multi-talented Grammy Award winning and multi-platinum selling artist, composer and actor, is one of the most popular and successful rappers worldwide. To date, Coolio has sold over 27 million records globally and has performed in concerts to adoring fans around the world.

Coolio also has won an American Music Award, three MTV Music Video Awards, two Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards and a World Music Award. Coolio’s new long-awaited album “Steal Hear” will be released on October 21. In addition to the release, Coolio stars, writes music for and executive produces “Coolio’s Rules.”

AOL’s Men’s Lifestyle site, ASYLUM.COM, was kind enough to feature me in their “Hot Girl, Cool Job” section. Although I have many jobs, they chose to highlight my gig as a Voice Actor.

What’s your job?
I am a voice actor, which means I do voiceovers for everything from TV promos (MTV’s The Real World, The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency, Tori and Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood) and commercials (Jergens, Verizon Vcast, TJ Maxx) to voices for animated characters (12-year-old boy, 250-year-old fictional creature).
What makes it cool?
Becoming a successful voice actor requires more than having a unique voice; you need to be able to become a character and to laugh at yourself while doing it. Voiceover work is not for the self-conscious.
Sometimes simply walking into an audition is comical because everyone is listening very carefully to everyone else’s voice, sizing up the competition.
Find out what makes Allison’s job sexy after the jump.
When I go in to record a booking, I think the men are surprised and relieved to see that I’m not morbidly obese and covered in eczema. Recently, I went in to the studio to record a voice for an animated character that called for a “sexy” read. I was in the booth recording the lines according to the direction, and when I looked up, all 12 men in the studio were giggling like pre-adolescent boys who just found their first Playboy magazine. When they kept asking me to read “alternate” lines of copy, I placated them.
Ever used your voiceover skills for anything, um, dirty?
Of course I have been asked to exploit my voiceover skills for pornographic means, but I’ve never done anything as racy as that. However, I have recorded the cell-phone voicemail greetings for a bunch of my guy friends.
