She has also performed over the years on cruise ships, and for themeparks like Opryland and Walt Disney World. But it was not until working for Tokyo Disneyland in Japan, that she was introduced to the world of voiceovers.
She began doing voiceover work for Tokyo Disneyland, and for Sony Records in Japan, and has also recorded a number of foreign language dialect tapes and phonetic videos for Japanese students. Kathleen enjoyed voiceover work so much, that she continued her studies in New York.
