Biography

Patricia Parris graduated from the women's college of Brenau University in Gainesville, Georgia in 1972 where she majored in drama, English and secondary education, directing and performing in plays such as My Fair Lady and The Children's Hour. She would also introduce her show on the school radio station with her ever-expanding uncanny knack for accents and impersonation.[2] Once she graduated, Parris moved to Hollywood, California and studied under the guidance of Daws Butler as a student in his voice acting workshop.

Her first television voice-over role was Shelly on Jabberjaw (1976) produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions. Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, other voice-over credits included Yogi's Space Race, Buford and the Galloping Ghost, Shirt Tales, The Littles, The Smurfs, Fraggle Rock: The Animated Series and The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, as well as numerous roles on a variety of Disneyland/Vista Records read-along story recordings. She also voiced Daisy Duck (as Isabelle) in the 1983 Mickey Mouse theatrical featurette Mickey's Christmas Carol and occasionally voiced the recurring character of Mary Barclay on the Focus on the Family radio drama Adventures in Odyssey from 1989 to 1992.[3]

She has been married to attorney William H. Shibley since March 24, 1989 and they have one child, Patrick. She currently resides in Long Beach, California.
