TOY !!! Holmes’ award-winning voice has graced millions of ears around the globe for more than a decade. On TV, Radio and the Web, from commercials and promos, to narration, animation, live announcing and beyond—she is the voice behind some of retail, entertainment and media’s most celebrated productions. 

Toy discovered voice acting while working as a TV Production Assistant, where she occasionally contributed her singing & songwriting talents to projects in-house. The music connection eventually landed Toy an opportunity to direct several voiceover sessions with the late, legendary soul singer & voice actor, Isaac Hayes. Toy has worked as the signature voice for channels such as Nick Jr., NBC-11, MTV, Centric, BETHer, VH1 and Aspire. Her wealth of promo experience earned her a 2016 Voice Arts™ Award (Outstanding TV Promo Campaign, Best Voiceover) for BET’s, Black Girls Rock, with subsequent nominations in 2017 (Being Mary Jane, Rebel) and in 2018 (Outstanding TV Narration, 3o Years of Soul Train Awards.) In 2019, Toy was nominated yet again for her role as the promo voice of ESPN’s 2018 US Open Tennis Championship 2-week event, and became the newest imaging voice of Sirius XM channel, Progress 127. She has voiced numerous national commercial campaigns for brands including AT&T, Shoe Carnival, JC Penney and Old Navy. Her lead role as the firecracker Old Navy mannequin character, “Michelle”, in the wildly popular “Supermodelquins” ads was part of the most successful and highest sales-boosting campaign in the store’s recent history. 

Toy has even crossed into animation and video games, voicing characters in Nickelodeon’s hit cartoon, Go Diego, Go! and Rockstar Games cult classic, Need For Speed: Undercover, as well as the portrayal of several characters in EA Sports’ Midnight Club Los Angeles as a motion capture actress. Toy’s dynamic energy, presence and musical edge also makes her a go-to for star-studded events where, as the live announcer, she has welcomed some of the most iconic names in entertainment, music and pop culture to the stage. She was the live announcer voice of the Image© Award-Winning UNCF’s An Evening of Stars Tribute to Lionel Richie & AEOS Tribute to Patti Labelle, as well as VH1 Hip Hop Honors 2005, 2006 and a 2016 encore. Also in 2016, she was the live announcer for Airbnb Open LA, introducing top executives and celebrities— from Gwyneth Paltrow to Ashton Kutcher (broadcasting simultaneously across six separate venues.)
