Tonya Marie Canady

My voiceover/on-camera role for Donald Trump's Celebrity Apprentice 2009 Season just aired on NBC. I had an amazing time working with Joan Rivers, Jesse James, and Clint Black. Jesse James gave me a national shout out which I will forever be grateful for! If you missed it, take a look at the video clip on my Media section of the website. Thank you again for all of your support!f you just show up prepared!" – Tonya Canady

All Shook Up

Tonya had to play the daughter, Lorraine, in All Shook Up half way through the show when the original actress was seriously hurt during the performance and taken away in an ambulance. Keep in mind, Tonya was the understudy for Sylvia, the mother in All Shook Up and also played various ensemble roles. To say the least, All Shook Up was an exciting experience!
