have lungs, will travel

About Me

I used to be a radio dj until clear channel took over the world- I'm a happy Freelance Voice for Hire, speaking (all kinds o' Voice Over from TV and Radio to Audiobooks) and singing. This feds my geek side as well with my home studio. ah, the power. I'm also a songwriter, who pitches my work to other artists and have the good fortune of hearing my own versions of my own tunes land in projects for film or tv from time to time. a gen-u-ine LA native without a republican bone in my Sicilian/Norwegian body. a traveler in body and mind. devoted tree-hugger and frustrated world explorer. President of the Tom Horne Fan Club. Honest and true. A seeker to the core with a particular love of Jung. Perfectly imperfect. Kind, kinky, and never boring.

My Interests

Sleeping in the sun, dancing in the shade. Seeking my own enlightenment and laughing all the way. open space. loving a Southern man. Rescuing critters. Saving the world. Saving myself.

I'd like to meet:

I dunno.

Music:

if it's got soul and a good melody, I'll dig it. add some percussion, and I'm movin'. crying pedal steel works too. You can check out my spot here: http://www.myspace.com/stephanieriggio www.StephanieRiggio.com

Movies:

movies that are smart, a little funny, dark, challenging, creative, and, in the long run, meaningful somehow, whether it be with a laugh, cry or insight. Come to think of it, I like my men with those qualities, too.

Television:

the seeker's mind has to take a vacation from time to time. any IQ draining TV that I might watch, I do so with the knowledge that I will get those points back as soon as I can. I try not to feel shame. Delicious dramas for grownups, Anthony Bourdain and Globe Trekker keep me dreaming.

Books:

Hesse's Siddhartha (so much so I wrote a song inspired by it--listen to Voice Inside on my music page here)....anything by Tom Robbins, Carl Hiassen or Karl Jung. Kerouac. Seuss. there are many more.

Heroes:

do heroes exist? it takes alot to impress me. as for inspiration, it's all around, but not always from people.
