BENZTOWN INTRODUCES TWO TOP CHARACTER VOICEOVER ACTORS

BURBANK, CA, January 14, 2016— Benztown announces that it has signed two prominent character voiceover actors, Rachel Butera and Scott Whyte, to do promos and celebrity impersonations for their radio imaging and production library customers. Benztown is now making these distinctive voice talents available to radio stations for cash or barter.

Butera was first recognized as a female impressionist when she won $5,000 in the Howard Stern Impressions Contest. She continues to provide character voices for the show, and recently showcased celebrity impressions such as Wanda Sykes, Rosie O’Donnell, Whoopi Goldberg, Cyndi Lauper, Joan Rivers, and more on Season 9 of America’s Got Talent. From impressions on the Raw Dog Comedy Channel, to hosting “The Worst Family Ever”, to opening for Kevin Pollak, to performing as the celebrity guest at Second City’s TIM sketch show, it is her blend of fearlessness, honesty, and vulnerability that makes Butera one of today’s most endearing and sought-after comedic performers. In addition to voicing commercial ID’s for radio stations across the country, she recently voiced the Toyota Big Prius Event commercial on TV and radio. Butera is the voice of Alexis on Fox’s “Golan The Insatiable” and voices other animated characters including: Harvey Beaks on Nickelodeon, Turbo:FAST on Netflix, Dog With A Blog on the Disney Channel, Trip Tank on Comedy Central and King Star King on Adult Swim.
