WHAT SOME FANS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT JULIE:
My name is Lucy and I'm 12 years old. I love the movie, “The Princess and The Pauper.” It's my favorite. I also have all of the Princess and The Pauper dolls
and the music because I love the singing voice of Erika. I think you’re the best singer I have ever heard. So keep on singing.
Hi Julie! I’m Soh Fia from Singapore. I just wanted to say I think you have a wonderful voice and I fell in love with the songs in “Barbie’s The Princess and The
Pauper” the very first time I saw it and heard it. Erika is my favorite character! I think your voice is very soothing and soft. I just love to hear you sing! All my
sisters love the songs you sing, too!
I've got two girls, 9 and 2, who absolutely love your voice. Well, Erika's voice. Being a music teacher for years, I love your voice! I don't know how many times
I've heard "The Cat's Meow," but I'm never less than amazed with what you did with that. I always like to thank amazing musicians like you for their work! So...
Thanks!
We have recently bought the “Barbie as Princess and the Pauper” DVD, and I must say that I am so impressed by your singing voice. You have a very clear
soprano voice. My kids keep on watching the movie again and again, and we all enjoy your songs. Bravo to you. :)
Julie was interviewed by Chris Connelly on the ABC News show, “20/20.”
Julie took home Best Director and
Best Documentary Awards for her film, “Life After Tomorrow,” an Official
Selection in a total of 7 film festivals, including the AFI Film Festival and the
