Cyndi Richards

Co-owner Soundhouse Studio

Singer/songwriter, actor, writer, artist SOCAN/ASCAP, ACTRA/TMA

Observing the entertainment business first hand through her parents prepared Cyndi to embrace her legacy – her life in the arts.

Cyndi’s Mom, Billie Mae Richards, created the much-loved voice of ‘Rudolph’ in the 1964 Christmas classic “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” with Burl Ives – one of many during her lengthy career in radio and TV. Her father, well-known jazz violinist Bill Richards, was musical director for many artists on the Canadian music scene and enjoyed a lengthy career as studio, TV and show orchestra musician.

Performing as a voice over artists has always been a fave of Cyndi’s. She witnessed her Mom, (Billie Mae Richards, voice of Rudolph in the 1964 classic with Burl Ives), performing at Studio “G” in the original, gracious and iconic CBC building on Jarvis St, Toronto. Watching through the glass from the control room while doing homework from public school, Cyndi had a bird’s eye view of cast and sound FX teams working their magic that brought life to popular shows her Mom worked on during the “hey-day” of CBC radio.

The following MP3s highlight narrative, commercial and vocal samples showcasing the variety of techniques Cyndi uses when contracted for voice over projects.
