Melanie Murphy is an animated communicator, finding her passion as a speaker and professional voice over talent. Known for her quick wit and fun-loving spirit, she intentionally celebrates life in the everyday moments and the big ones too. One of her current goals she’s prepared to unleash confetti for is the news of a baby. Melanie and her husband have been trying to have children for 6 years, which is what caused her path to line up with Moms In The Making, forging her friendship with Caroline Harries. When Melanie isn’t helping Caroline with her ministry, she’s behind the microphone as a voice actor, expertly conveying a company’s message in a way that gets to the heart of the idea. She voices commercials, online videos, training modules and all kinds of other interesting projects that require a polished voice. Based in Dallas, Texas, Melanie works internationally, for companies such as GoDaddy, Shutterstock, Frito Lay, The Container Store and Century 21. Melanie was once in radio, getting her start on USA Radio Network, the same network that once was home to Point of View Radio. Melanie began as a weekend producer and worked her way up to being the managing editor and host of the daily syndicated award-winning program, “NewsWrapUSA”.
