As the seven-time announcer of the Oscars, and 16-time Tony’s announcer, Thomas has been winning accolades and opening doors for female voice artists for over 20 years. For the past nine years she’s been heard daily by millions of people as the iconic voice of CBS Television Distribution’s “Entertainment Tonight,” one of the most watched entertainment programs in the world.

In addition to voiceover, Thomas has more than 20 years of experience as a radio personality in New York, Los Angeles, Detroit, and Miami. She is one of the most recognizable voiceover artists in the world and is co-author of the book, “VOICE FOR HIRE: Launch and Maintain a Lucrative Career in Voice-Overs”.

Justin Case, Director of Programming and Imaging for Benztown, said: “Randy Thomas is a truly unique, one-of-a-kind voice and talent. She brings a phenomenal skill set in branded voiceover, and is very effective across a range of formats. Benztown customers will benefit from Randy’s deep expertise and smooth delivery. It’s fantastic to be able to offer this caliber of a voiceover professional to stations of all formats and market sizes.”

Thomas said: “I have been hearing a buzz about Benztown for a while. I looked closer and feel the barter business model works in today’s broadcast business environment. I’m very excited to be working with them and to be out in front with the radio stations I serve. Before I established my career in voiceover, I was an on-air personality. My heart has always been in radio. I understand the needs and demands of the stations that I work for and together, we create solid branding.”
