ROXANNE BECK began her singing career at the age of three, when she performed "Would You Like to Swing on a Star" in a college talent show in her home town of Searcy, Arkansas. Now a singer, actor and writer with credits from New York to Nashville to Los Angeles, Roxanne is an exceptionally versatile performer. An internationally known voice actor, her animated TV and film credits include multiple roles on "ILL-ustrated" (VH1), "Doug" (ABC/Nickelodeon), "Pokemon" (the WB) and "Pokemon 4Ever" (the movie). Known for her wide range of character voices and accents, Roxanne has voiced bratty tots, precocious teens, sweet ingenues, quirky moms, evil witches, and celebrity impersonations. Her voice-over and jingle work includes Cover Girl, Dodge, Kroger, Long John Silver's, Saatchi & Saatchi, Nintendo, Novartis Pharmaceuticals, and The Documentary Channel. A trained stage and film actress with over 15 years of experience, Roxanne is a member of SAG, AFTRA and Actors Equity.

After earning a B.A. in English at Harding College, Roxanne headed for Nashville, where she started out doing demo and session work. Soon she was singing in clubs like the Bluebird Cafe and singing back-up on The Grand Ole Opry and The Nashville Network's "That's Country." After earning her Equity card at Tennessee Repertory Theatre, Roxanne moved to New York, where she did musical theatre and cabaret and continued to develop her distinctive singing style. She studied acting at the Stella Adler Conservatory and performed in venues like Carnegie Hall, Town Hall, and Chris Noth's Cutting Room. Her debut album of original material, "Garden of Love," combined a "blues-rock-country blend with her love of melodic pop-rock” (The Westchester County Weekly); her single "Baby I Do" received airplay on radio stations like New York's influential WFUV.

Roxanne relocated to Los Angeles in 2003 and now performs her unique blend of jazz, blues and pop throughout Southern California (check out the Music page for samples.) Her new CD, "Comes Love," produced by Bud Harner and featuring Jeff Golub, Paul Brown and John Pondel on guitar, was released in March of 2008 and is available here and at CDBaby.com/roxannebeck2.

Roxanne has also joined the ranks of aspiring Hollywood screenwriters with her original scripts Caterpillarland (a full-length animated feature) and The Devil's Talking, which was a semi-finalist in The 2003 Writers Network Screenplay and Fiction Competition.
