Doctor, Doctor, gimme the news
In 2007, while Marty was still doing afternoon drive and night shifts at WHIL (the sale of the station was still four years away), Marty found a whole new market for her voice talent - the automated business communication systems industry.
One of Marty's co-workers at WHIL, Kris Pierce, was also working part-time at TeleVox, a voice messaging services company. On Kris' recommendation, Marty was hired there as well, to work as a professional voice talent and recordist.
Marty's mornings were dedicated to voice recordings at TeleVox, while she continued to ride the afternoon and sunset airwaves at WHIL, until the sunset of the station itself in 2011.
Marty still works for Televox to this day, doing voice recordings for doctor's offices and many other types of businesses.
