Rachel Butera

Benztown has announced that it has signed two prominent character voiceover actors, Rachel Butera and Scott Whyte, to do promos and celebrity impersonations for their radio imaging and production library customers.

Benztown is now making these distinctive voice talents available to radio stations for cash or barter.

Butera was first recognized as a female impressionist when she won $5,000 in the Howard Stern Impressions Contest. She continues to provide character voices for the show, and recently showcased celebrity impressions such as Wanda Sykes, Rosie O’Donnell, Whoopi Goldberg, Cyndi Lauper, Joan Rivers, and more on Season 9 of America's Got Talent. From impressions on the Raw Dog Comedy Channel, to hosting “The Worst Family Ever”, to opening for Kevin Pollak, to performing as the celebrity guest at Second City’s TIM sketch show, it is her blend of fearlessness, honesty, and vulnerability that makes Butera one of today’s most endearing and sought-after comedic performers.
