She has appeared on-camera in television and film, danced professionally as a jazz dancer, and performed in countless musical theatre productions. Janyse is also one of the top cartoon voiceover artists, working with clients such as Marvel Comics, The Cartoon Network, Disney, and narrating the Emmy award-winning series "Adoption Stories". Through her work in animation, Janyse met children through the Make-A-Wish Foundation and became inspired to create a children's CD to help kids, titled "The Magic Of Think". Janyse has received awards for her songwriting from the prestigious Hollywood Music in Media Awards, Independent Music Awards, Hollywood Music Awards and the Toronto Exclusive Magazine Awards. She has several of her songs placed in Film and Television, including works starring Pamela Anderson, Dean Cain, Chad Allen, Sally Pressman and more.
