For 15 years she was a lead cast member on the Tom Joyner Morning Show’s radio drama “It’s Your World" playing several characters including, Dr. Cotton.

In 2008 she took a 12-year break from the entertainment industry and taught elementary school. Upon her return 2020 she won a scholarship to learn audiobook narration for book publishers. Upon completing the course, her first job was a narration for Penguin Random House's 25th anniversary book, “Dreaming In Cuban.” Her narration work is described as engaging, warm, versatile, distinctive in style, and mature.

angel sketchAngel Harper was named one of the top 100 Latino Comics in 1997. A very ironic honor to her obvious African-American appearance. She is originally from Harlem, in New York City. Her mother was born in Havana Cuba and raised in Kingston, Jamaica. Her father is from Hookerton, North Carolina. She enjoys her ethnic mix and shares the humor of her heritage with her audience. Angel has appeared in all the top comedy clubs in Los Angeles and won numerous prizes for her stand up routine about being a single woman. She doesn’t limit her humor to her ethnicity. In her early years of comedy she was labeled the Classy Comic with a cutting Edge. Her new approach to comedy is a mixture of her former comedy style and topical and conscious technique.

Bonus Ep.-How Angel started her 3rd act with 14 offers for representation

#actress #representation #accountability
Oct 13, 2021

Angel Harper hit LA running back in the day. She landed reps fast and worked until... she realized she had no idea how to keep things going and she ultimately got burned out.
After taking a 12-year hiatus from the biz to work as an elementary school teacher, Angel realized she still had an actor itch to scratch… except she had no idea how to get back into things, how to submit to reps, or how to translate her years of experience and wisdom into meetings and finding her team.
Now after 15 meetings and 14 (!!) offers for representation, Angel is flying high and taking on the business with a whole new outlook in her self-proclaimed “3rd act”!
