Long Bio: How often those words rang true throughout my life, the quotes above. I was always one step ahead of the game. Thanks to an elder sister who taught me to write in cursive before I even reached kindergarten. I always had someone there to look out for me and offer me guidance, in some way. Even if the guidance was not good, it was still there to listen to, and see.
The story behind my name is this: My first name Amy came about for two reasons. My great grandmother's first name is Amy. And when my mother was a little girl her favorite doll's name was Amy. Amy means beloved; loved.
My middle name, Lynn came from my aunt Linda, my mother's sister. Lynn means cascade; waterfall. Linda means beautiful; gentle; soft. So basically, I'm a beloved, beautiful waterfall.
Upon completing a DNA test with 23andMe, I confirmed my long-held suspicion that my heritage is multiracial. This revelation has not only prompted a personal journey of self-discovery but also influenced the expansion of Annika's Work From Home.
I choose not to leverage this aspect of my identity in my professional life, preferring instead that my work and voice stand on their own merits. Additionally, I am disabled, a fact I have only recently come to terms with, especially following an unfortunate incident where my ex-partner chose to disclose my personal health information publicly.
I strive to maintain a focus on my capabilities and contributions rather than on personal attributes or challenges.
I have been in many plays before at church, home, and school. Though it was my mother who said my sister was the world's greatest actress, so for me to be in this industry and not her is a bit of a twist. Another interesting twist is I'm tongue-tied. And yes there is a real medical condition called that. My mother was so tongue-tied that before she even left the hospital her tongue was cut. I have yet to get my cut, maybe when I no longer care to do voice-overs I'll have that done. I would have to learn to speak again.
I have often been told by gentlemen that I had a lovely addicting voice, but no one ever mentioned to me that I had a voice for radio till I joined the chat rooms. No one ever mentioned to me how I could be more than I already was without much work. But being headstrong I decided I could make something out of nothing. Which is what brought you here.
Voice-over work for me is more than a job, I take it very seriously. It has become much more than a hobby. It's something I very much so enjoy doing. And that's what a job should be, something you love. Because you will shine no matter what.
I started doing voice-over acting as a joke. I wanted to prove others wrong about my voice. Instead, I ended up proving them right. After much research, training, and development both website and voice. Training includes acting classes, a personal one on one voice coach, and more. I won't publicly list personal schooling information for privacy and security issues.
I am happy where I am in life. God has truly blessed me and I thank the Lord for all of it daily.
I'm a health care advocate for mental and emotional health. This led me to create the website Purely Said. I've also recently been involved with a romance scammer who changed my journey completely. I now share my personal experience of survival and resilience with others. I've exposed the truth about him and his many illegal actions in a book I wrote.
I've also expanded into doing my own faith and tech podcast inspired by God. I've always had a love for both, faith and tech so it fits perfectly with my lifestyle and unique outlook.
My interests and hobbies include such things as religion, family, Star Trek, films, the great outdoors, crafts, and anything to do with computers.

In my spare time, I enjoy spending it with friends and family and running Annika's Work From Home as well as publishing books for my father.
