Hi Rich,
It's not unusual for union talent to not have a voices.com page. Personally, I think everyone should, but union talent get most of their work through agents... rather than online sites, these days... so don't hold that against Ellen. I have never heard of her... but you might
1) Contact the talent agents in Portland area who represent Vo talent.
2) Check out her web site
3) Ask for references
4) Listen to her demo. If you dont' think she's good...dont' study with her. There are a lot of people who teach because they can't make a living at VO. (I am NOT saying she is one of them. I don't know her... just cautioning you that they are out there!)

Voiceover driving school is a great name!
