The Confessor World was rent asunder in the last thread by competing opinions on the narrator on some ads appearing in The Ticket stream, and, I suppose, on the air, although I don't have a list for you. Confessor Boo! did not much care for it, another found it fetching. I have since heard from others who very much like the sound of this woman's voice.
AMENDMENT 5-1-16: At least one of the ads in question is for The Local Ticket with DJ Mark music show.
The talent community must know who's doing what -- and have the occasional cup of coffee at My Ticket Confession -- because it wasn't long before I heard from someone who gave some indication of knowing what he was talking about, and our voice actress was identified.
Her name is J.J. Jurgens.
She has a Masters in Journalism/Sports Broadcasting from the University of Nebraska and played on the Cornhuskers women's basketball team.
She was nominated for a Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Promotional Announcement. No, really.
Her favorite drink is Widmer Hefeweizen
She played professional football for the L.A. Amazons. Wide receiver and corner.

| [Close as I could come. LA Amazons didn't leave an extensive photographic footprint on the Internets. This is from "Tarzan and the Amazons" with Johnny Weissmuller and Brenda Joyce.] |
So there you have it. More at her website. Your Plainsman has a special fondness for her birthplace of Omaha, Nebraska, and My Ticket Confession wishes her the best.
