Packard is the voice of the female blood elf in the video game World of Warcraft. She has also voiced Pericci in Star Ocean: The First Departure and the characters of Luce Valenci and Altyria Jono in Vandal Hearts: Flames of Judgment. At Emerson she was DJ at WERS, the college"s radio station which at the time was the nation"s #1 college radio station in the nation (17).
At WERS she created the electronic music program Revolutions which she co-hosted with the Grammy-nominated producer Morgan Page.
Packard"s work at WERS brought her to the attention of local casting directors and she soon began her voice over career in local radio commercials and promos. She then worked at publisher Prentice-Hall as the voice of their e-learning textbooks.
She moved to Los Angeles to complete her degree through Emerson College Los Angeles Program. On 29 March 2012, Packard filed a lawsuit against Moët Hennessy, makers of Belvedere vodka for misappropriating her image by including it in an online ad campaign.
The image was taken from a short online comedy video, "Awkward Moments: The Baby Picture", produced by Strickly Viral Productions.
In the context of the ad, the appropriated image depicts the character portrayed by Packard as trying to escape the clutches of what appears to be a sexually aggressive manitoba Belvedere added the tagline, "Unlike some people, Belvedere always goes down smoothly." Packard"s filing also alleges negligent infliction of emotional distress, claiming that the repercussions of being associated with the ad "have been huge." While the ad appeared only briefly on March 23 and was removed shortly thereafter, with Belvedere brand president Charles Gibb issuing a public apology subsequent to the ad"s retraction, as of the lawsuit"s filing, neither the brand nor the parent company had offered an apology to Packard for either the misappropriation or any of the subsequent negative fallout. Packard"s lawsuit was filed under California Civil Code 3344, the so-called California Celebrities Rights Acting of 1985, which prohibits unauthorized use of personal images or likenesses for promotional purposes.
