WELCOME!  And HAPPY NEW YEAR, EVERYONE!

Thanks for visiting my website.  A professional stage, film and television actor for over 30 years, I am enjoying this opportunity to live my dream!   I was recently cast in a new series being shot in New Orleans.  I play the "Landlady" in episode #105 of COMMON LAW, staring Michael Ealy and Warren Coles.  In the spring of 2011, I began my recurring role as Judge Amelia Sanders in DROP DEAD DIVA, the popular Lifetime Television series that just completed it's third season and is heading into season #4!  Judge Amelia can be enjoyed in Episodes #304, #308 and the season finale, #313.  Watch for the start of our next season, and keep your fingers crossed that it includes a return of Judge Amelia! 

A busy voice actor and acting teacher/coach, I teach youth acting classes for S.T.A.G.E. and Dallas Children's Theater.  My resume, photos, voiceover demos and film reels are available here on this site, so I hope you will take a look at my work.  A zillion years ago (it seems, anyway) I was a recording artist on the Dot Label.  We've recently uploaded the four songs I recorded.  It's really a hoot!  Click on "Sharon's Audio" and check it out!

I'm currently involved in several exciting new projects!  I have produced several film projects in the past year and discovered how fun it is to combine my artistic passions with my business skills.  I also involve myself in the local industry as co-moderator of the Dallas Table.  THe most exciting aspects of my past year has been the great opportunities Ive had to audition all over the United States through my terrific agents:  Remington Talent Agency - Las Vegas and Los Angeles; Linda McAlister Talent - Dallas, TX; and Landrum Arts LA - Louisiana and throughout the Southeast.  I would love to hear from you if you have any questions or comments. 

VELVET RIBBON PRODUCTIONS

VELVET RIBBON PRODUCTIONS is a small production company that began several years ago.  Our modest little company became more active in 2011.   In addition to taping actor auditions in our little studio, VRP produced its first short film in February of 2012:  THE PAINTED WOMAN, written by William Bienes.  My co-stars were familiar faces Grover Coulson and Burton Gilliam, and our director, Dennis Burkley, came in from L.A. to lead the shoot.  We were backed by our incredible crew from Happy Tree Films.  Cinematographer Marco Bottiglieri (now studying film at Columbia College in Los Angeles!) keeps on giving with his proven track record as the best you can get anywhere!  This was an exciting and somewhat ambitious venture (or rather, ADventure) for our band of filmmakers.  Currently in post-production, we hope to announce a Spring 2012 premiere. I thank my terrific team who worked on this film, and continue to thank my lucky stars every day for having this opportunity to follow my dreams.
