Hoffman knew she wanted to be in show business ever since she performed in the play “Peter Pan” in elementary school. She starred in many stage productions and eagerly, pursued acting, singing, dancing, performing, show choir, TV and radio during her early schooling years. Lynn also took up a number of different musical instruments growing up including guitar, violin, clarinet, piano & drums right through high school. She always had a love of music and regularly taught herself how to play many of the instruments on her own by ear. At 12 she tried out for the movie Annie and although she didn’t make the cut she did make it much farther than any of her friends in the call backs. Just far enough to know she had a taste of what she really loved and that performing arts was in her blood and where she felt most comfortable.

In 1989, she recorded her first radio commercial at a radio station for her father's office furniture business and never looked back. Her passion and love for broadcasting and entertaining flourished and led her to pursue a degree in communications in college. Hoffman graduated from The New England Institute of Art in 1992 with a degree in Communications and quickly started making a living using her voice, recording commercials for local cable production companies, messages on hold for local businesses including the Showcase Cinema Movie Line and voicing policy & procedure video’s for Raytheon Corp., while spinning jazz records as a part time board op at the local Jazz Station WCDJ.
