I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me


I work as on-screen and voice talent for various corporate clients, which means that you may spot someone on TV who looks just like me but has way better hair.

I know the technical aspects of media production as well, so if you need someone who’s comfortable on either side of the camera, check out my website angela-richardson.com

I’m on the “Street Team” for My Madison TV , Channel 14 (cable/satellite) doing feature reporting and promotions.

I danced on trapeze with the aerial troupe, Cycropia Aerial Dance , for seven years. Now I am "Mighty Moth, Emeritus."

I make art and lead some very crafty workshops.

I perform comedy and striptease as Olive Talique and founded the troupe Cherry Pop Burlesque with a few other bawdy folks.

I produce and emcee the life drawing event Dr. Sketchy's Anti-Art School , Madison Chapter, monthly at the High Noon Saloon.

I also take a LOT of photos documenting all of the above. Check ‘em out!
