Q.1 To start with, tell us a little bit about yourself, Ms. Montano.
What is your background? How did you get into acting and voice-acting?
What roles have you starred in before?




I’ve been acting since I was a kid, but mainly as a hobby and
extra-curricular activity in high school and college. After I got my
undergraduate degree from Harvard, I became an investment banker. But
after a couple years of doing that, I realized life is too short to be
working in a career that you don’t really love. So I quit and decided to
become an actress.




My first voice-over job was a radio commercial. My first on-camera job
in Hollywood was a recurring role on ER. I’ve enjoyed playing a lot of
different guest-starring roles on TV, including shows like Bones, Boston
Legal, Big Love, and most recently on a new comedy called Glory Daze.
Transformers Prime is really my first TV series where I get to play a
“starring,” series regular role.
