Where to find Lisa:

Lisa Orkin Creative

Kathy began her career after being told again and again that her voice could make anything sound funny. With her ultra-dry delivery, she was billed as the female Ben Stein. But over the years, she has expanded her repertoire to include the not-so-funny, and the deep-breathed sexy. Kathy is an accomplished improviser and standup comedian and has lent her unique talents to cartoons, commercials, short films, and even at a ride at Disneyland. But wherever you hear her, she’s unmistakably Kathy.
