Alina Pizzano pulled out her dream book and designed something long, stunning, and 3D just for me. Here is the sketch of the dress. It doesn’t show the cape off the left shoulder, that can be wrapped around me to keep the February chill at bay. (It gets really cold on the Red Carpet!) The swatch is a sample…
Alina and I headed downtown to the garment district, to check out fabric. All those colors, textures and patterns were so overwhelming! Thank goodness Alina knew just what she was looking for, and this year, dahhhlings, it looks like we are going red! Oh, but don’t think solid red, oh no, red and then some!…
I want to give a big shout out to my friend Kevin Michael Richardson and his Annie Nomination, for his role as Willem Viceroy, “Randy Cunningham: 9th Grade Ninja. Back in the day, I worked with Kevin on Homeboys From Outer Space. No, I didn’t make that up! It was a real show and funny…
I met the very talented Alina Pizzano at her shop and we went over some sketches. Her gowns are divine and her drawings for my dress, exquisite. However, I am no Angelina Jolie. I just couldn’t see myself in a sultry, tight, mermaid cut gown. I tried one on once and the lovely flare that was supposed to flare…
I’m so excited to once again be the announcer for the 40th Annual Annie Awards. 8 years now, and this year I will be gracing the red carpet in an Alina Pizzano original. I’m looking forward to more updates and pictures as we jouney down the road from concept to couture, culminating on the big night of Februry 2nd,…
Being a member of the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (The TV Academy) really does have it’s perks! Last night we enjoyed an All-Academy Mixer at the lovely Lowes Hotel in Hollywood. What a fun way to catch up with friends in the “Biz”, and make some new ones. No work, just good food,…
How does Farmer Brown call his “hot” farm animals? Brown chicken, Brown cow. (Okay, think “bow chicka bow wow” from old porn or 70’s movies) Honestly, this is the silliest thing ever, but it’s so much fun to watch kids crack up over animal sounds and bovine farts.
For anyone with a preschooler in their life, check out the new Madagascar game from Jumpstart and Dreamworks. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/madagascar-preschool-surf/id553710146?ls=1&mt=8 https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.KnowledgeAdventure.PSMadSlide Psssst…. I’m the voice of young Melman. I had a great time voicing this project; it was an honor to be associated with such a memorable animated film franchise. I hope the little ones in your…
JumpStart and Dreamworks have joined forces to create a whole new game for kids. I’m the voice of Young Melman in the new Madagascar Game. Kid friendly and fun, what more could you ask for!?!
Last week I enjoyed recording for a new kid’s game that is about to be launched. It is all still on the hush hush, but I played the younger version of a popular animated movie character. Hopefully, the “well known” clients will give me the go ahead to bla bla blog, very soon!
Myxer – Ringtone – 025-Mom-teengirl-ds http://www.myxer.com/get/item/17853229 Ringtone by Dina Sherman
“Founding Fruits” a hilarious and educational (hahahaaa) fruitastical rendition of our revolutionary war. These guys are crazy fun. A total blast to work with. The last airing of this episode is July 19th on Cartoon Network. (8pm-PST) Annoying Orange shows regularly on Monday nights 8pm/7central. Or go to Cartoon Network to catch missed episodes and…
The cast & crew kicked off the 1st Annoying Orange episode with a great viewing party! What fun!! Food, drinks, candy bar, roasted corn, fire pit and s’mores bar, silk screen T-shirts, and green screen photo ops. Check out the shot of Dane (The Orange/creator) and I in Marshmalia. I had a great time hanging with friends, roasting…
This is your mother calling…. Oh did I feel sorry for my not-quite-out-of-the-closet-yet, friend. He was hosting a small dinner party at his apartment and introducing us to his new “friend” when the phone started ringing. Having company, he let it go to the machine. Unfortunately, the speaker was up and we all got a lovely…
“This is a test.” Well, you asked for it loud….Of course I’ve included a gentle warning before the “sound.” Nothing got you off the couch at 2am or jarred you awake on those cross-country drives; before CDs, books on tape, iPods or Sirius Radio, like those totally obnoxious test tones. Fortunately, there was never an emergency, but…

On June 10th, I will be joining the Walk to End Alzheimer’s with the goal to raise money and awareness. I could really use your help and support. Any amount, donated will go to services helping families dealing with this disease. Thank you so much! ~Dina Your Support
On Monday’s, don’t you ever want to ignore a call, but you just don’t know if it’s important? Well, here is a simple and funny ringtone to let you know.
The white zone…. I was announcing the Annie Awards a year or so ago, and Tom Kenny was hosting. He was so gracious to introduce me to the audience, as the voice they’d been hearing all evening. He then asked me to do that thing that I do that he really likes, “You know, that thing.”…
I’m so glad you’re enjoying my ringtones, and for Mother’s Day, I thought I’d mix things up! I’ve created a special bunch of tones for that special woman in your life, Mom. Now, it isn’t what we are constantly telling our moms, (nooo no no no) but it is what we are thinking! It’s a simple Mother’s…
A fan favorite! Pick up or delivery??? I went into my favorite, local, Chinese restaurant. Tonight I chose to dine in and was totally entertained with the owner’s phone conversation. Apparently, there was a bad connection and the owner was really trying to find out if the customer wanted pick up or delivery. And I thought,…
Oh yea! The mean girl cheer! Ready…Okay! While traveling through some remote cities in Budapest, I caught a local game of Football. They actually had a rally squad on the side lines. The tune they were cheering was really catchy and soon we were all caught up in the spirit! It was so much fun…
Saturday I spent the day voting for the Daytime Emmy Awards. I was part of a juried panel that judged Character Animation and Character Design. There are some very talented people out there, whoooweee!!! My fellow judges are pretty amazing as well. It ‘s fun to be in the company of such talent!
I have been having fun lately creating ringtones, using all my voice over characters. Here is my first one: A little boy repeatedly says, “Mom.” The idea came when my nephew changed his grandma’s ringtone to quacking and the next day where ever she went, work, mall, etc. people thought she had a duck in…
