My Bio

Kathy Poelker is co-founder of Windy City Voice Talents in Chicago IL. She is a vocal technique coach, working voiceover talent, copywriter, and jingle writer. Kathy's warm, crystal clear voice brings a special touch of class and elegance to her voiceover work. Clients and colleagues describe Kathy's voice as "versatile, sophisticated, smooth, genuine, trustworthy, articulate, caring, and strong" which makes her voice appropriate for a wide genre of voiceover projects, including commercials, radio, TV, eLearning, narrations, industrials, children's books, IVR, websites, and audiobooks. Kathy is also very experienced in broadcast marketing and robocall advertising.
A lifelong vocalist and musician, Kathy also uses her musical talents at Windy City Voice Talents to write and record jingles. She has directed, created, and recorded projects in both English and Spanish for notable corporations including Sylvania Corp. and American Drug Stores.
Kathy's voice is not "new" behind the mic! Her singing voice has been enjoyed by young and old alike through her
years of writing and recording work for young children. In the early career years following her studies at
Northwestern University, Kathy Poelker founded Look At Me Productions, Inc. where she writes, records, and
publishes approximately 60 children's educational products, including music CDs and books used by teachers and programs throughout the United States and internationally. Kathy is a popular, motivational Keynote speaker who addresses early childhood teachers and professionals at conferences and programs throughout the US. Her music has won an ASCAP Popular Award every year for 24 consecutive years from 1988 through 2013. She has written and recorded over 150 songs for children in three languages, and her voiceover work includes narrations for two complete series of children's sing-along/read-along books, "Rhythms to Reading!" and "Look At Me Sing & Read!" series, and "Learning With A SMILE" sensory motor program. Kathy's voice has been a major part of her life through singing, recording, and voiceover work! She has voiced projects that include everything from political ads to health commercials, and she is often called to voice IVRs and announcements in Polish, plus other foreign language projects! A speaker of several languages, Kathy has added opportunity in voiceover, not only in English, but in Spanish and Polish as well!
