I'm Mary McDonald-Lewis. When I go to work, it's fun to guess what I'll be doing that day. Probably a voice-over job -- I've been a voice actor for years. Maybe as affiliate voice: I've been heard on stations from coast-to-coast. Certainly a dialect coach... I'm always working in film and on stage somewhere. Or directing! There's nothing I'd rather do than make storytelling magic. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0568056/ http://marymac.com/
