Speaking of DISNEY: KAT is the VOICE (and face reference!) of the ONLY LEAD CHARACTER ever ADDED to Disney’s legendary attraction THE HAUNTED MANSION – “CONSTANCE HATCHAWAY” aka “THE BLACK WIDOW BRIDE”. In addition to being heard in every version of this iconic attracttion worldwide, Kat continues to voice “THE BRIDE” for all Disney ANIMATED SERIES, VIDEO GAMES, SHOWS, RECORDS, and TOYS...

and voices “JESSIE THE COWGIRL” for Disney Parks Worldwide in ATTRACTIONS, PARADES, and SHOWS, including TOY STORY: MIDWAY MANIA. AND... Kat is ALSO the voice of the “LITTLE GIRL LOST” in all Disney Parks’ TWILIGHT ZONE: TOWER OF TERROR attractions.

One more bit of Disney magic: having grown up listening to DISNEY RECORDS READ-A-LONG’S (“When Tinkerbell rings her little bell..,”) Kat was gifted the opportunity to NARRATE 2 GRAMMY-WINNING Audio Books for DISNEY MUSIC: NOAH’S ARK and A BUG’S LIFE!

With a sub-specialty in terrifying vocal fx (demonic possession, shrieks, growls, hissing, aliens, ghosts, and blood-curdling screams) KAT regularly voices everything SCARY, SPOOKY, and downright MONSTEROUS for Film, TV, Video Games and Animation; most recently providing vocal fx for JAMES CAMERON’S AVATAR films, and voicing with Horror legend JOHN KASSIR for various GOOSEBUMPS projects, Marvel TV Shows, and THE OMEN series!
