She was nominated for an award by the Manhattan Association of Clubs and Cabarets for her debut show and named Best Female Vocalist by Backstage Magazine. she has performed at Town Hall and Symphony Space as a part of the Mabel Mercer Cabaret Convention and has become a regular entertainer in the esteemed series Sondheim Unplugged at Feinstein’s/54 Below. Fate smiled on Phyllis when she was offered the opportunity to sing in Mykonos Greece at Montparnasse, The Piano Bar.   It was a joy and privilege to be a resident vocalist in that beautiful club. After watching her fair share of commercials on television, she decided that THAT is what she desired to do in her “golden years” so she has taken on a new career as a commercial/film actress being featured in several national commercials. During the early stages of the pandemic, I converted a closet into a voice-over booth and have been working as a voice-over actor from home, voicing The Darkle Dragon in Nickelodeon’s animated series Nella the Princess Knight, as well as another animated series called Barley and Tabby. The Finellis, originally planned to be a series has since become a film which was released world-wide earlier in January on Amazon Prime, Google Play and Apple TV.  http://www.thefinellis.com/ www.thep1hyllispastore.com
