It's not around any more. The woman who bought Voices and continued serving Chicago and Nationally was Linda Jack. She was AWESOME. We received back from a couple of auditions. Remember that the only way we could hear auditions back then was on cassette tape. The person we hired had nothing to do with Super Mario. He's one of the BEST voice talents I have worked with. He's the same person who did the voice-over work for Cactus Jack's. His name: Craig Brolley. He's done a zillion voice overs and loves doing voices for games.
