About Vicki
Vicki’s musical journey began on the backyard swing at the age of seven, harmonizing with her three sisters as one-fourth of the “Plaster Sisters.” Blessed with natural singing voices, impeccable intonation, and keen musical ears, the sisters home was filled with an eclectic mix of musicals, classical, church music, jazz, rock, and pop. For many years, musical theater took center stage, as they were cast in multiple productions of The Sound of Music—until they outgrew both the roles and the dirndls!
During high school, the Plaster Sisters became a familiar presence around the Twin Cities, performing on telethons, TV variety shows, radio, and at dinner shows at Lord Fletcher’s on Lake Minnetonka. They were eventually signed with a talent agent and went on to tour and record with a professional big band, sharing the stage with legendary 40s greats, Johnny Desmond, Tex Beneke, and Helen O’Connell.
In 1983, the sister act paused when Vicki was crowned Miss Minnesota. She spent her year gaining valuable experience in speaking and performing, and went on to compete for the Miss America 1984 title in what became a historic year for the organization. That year’s winner, Vanessa Williams, later relinquished the crown.
In 1987, Vicki became a founding member of the award-winning vocal jazz group Voice Trek. For over 20 years, the five-voice ensemble performed, recorded, and toured extensively. They were named Midwest Regional Harmony Sweepstakes Champions and earned 1st Runner-Up and Audience Favorite honors at the National Competition in San Francisco. In 2005, Voice Trek received the prestigious McKnight Fellowship for Performing Musicians, winning $25,000. Inducted into the Minnesota Music Awards, the group released eight CDs and played a major role in bringing vocal jazz to wider recognition in Minnesota.
After more than three decades with Voice Trek, Vicki launched a career as an independent voiceover artist. Her versatile voice—equally strong in speaking and singing—has served her well as a soloist and ensemble performer. In addition to voiceover and commercial work, she works as a freelance artist and producer.
In recent years, Vicki has expanded into freelance video production. This new chapter began when her daughter, Kathryn, was crowned Miss Minnesota 2019 and served a record two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Together, they adapted to the shift to virtual events by founding Invisible Crown Productions. Since then, Vicki has produced video content for many clients including the American Heart Association, the Miss America Organization and Foundation, Social Media Influencers, and many others.
