Laura Milby got her vocal training in the same age-old place as Bach and Elvis - church. "Church choir, church musicals, church, church, church," she recalls. Milby grew up in Varina, Virginia (outside Richmond) with six brothers to make her tough - and keep her that way. She tinkered with a variety of instruments, including piano, flute and bass. She has a B.A. in Theatre Arts from Virginia Tech. Musical tours have taken her all over the East coast and as far as Seoul, Korea. Milby's on-camera career has exploded in the past year and she can be seen on The OC, NYPD Blue and several commercials including Comcast, Gateway and State Farm.

Born in Sandusky, Ohio, Corrie Shenigo was raised by an opera singer and rock n' roll guitarist, which explains her schizophrenic range of music influences. She has appeared on stage, screen and radio for as long as she can remember, most memorably working alongside Al Pacino in the feature film, "Hits." She also appeared with Ernest Borgnine in "The Blue Light," and on The Young and the Restless and Days of Our Lives. She spent a summer touring with Smokey Joe's Café, and returned to LA in search of a project that she could really "sink her teeth into." She found that with Laura and Debi and is thrilled to be the newest member of Honey Pig. "It's been so great... I can't imagine doing anything else."

Honey Pig formed in the San Fernando Valley and quickly released Exactly We Are, which drew regional acclaim. "So good it'll make you holler soo-wee!" praises Country Weekly, while Music Connection flat out declares, "go get the CD - it's right purty!" Fellow trade Music Biz lauded, "Vocally tight and strong, high in the quality of the tunes," adding "...their music speaks the language of the new millenium." Honey Pig has just released their second CD, Clueless You.

..Honey Pig's live shows also gained the band accolades. "Honey Pig is a heart-warming, endearing and very funny group," says Music Connection, adding, " Their harmonies are magical and their countrified folk tunes are ingeniously written. This is an act that could make the Grinch smile and have you humming their songs all the way home."

Two examples of voice-over actresses/singers does not necessarily a trend make, but I wonder if there are more out there - inquiring minds want to know.
