Description
About Frances

Having worked many years as an actress in New York and Los Angeles, I now narrate audiobooks from my home studio in Basel, Switzerland. I also have a home in Mountain View, CA. My versatile voice can range from warm and mature to bright and youthful. I love the vulnerability and passion of Romance novels and the fresh adventure of YA Fantasy, where my Pagan spiritual heart is at home with the elves and fairies. I am especially thrilled to voice LGBTQ characters in both genres. In Non-Fiction I am well-suited for journalistic, memoir and political texts. I grew up New England, where I devoured the geeky ... more coolness of Harvard Square with its artsy films and alternative culture. On holidays, our family camped and hiked in the Appalachian White Mountains. As a graduate of Smith College with a BA in Theater, I’ve worked in Soaps, Off-Broadway, Independent Films, Commercials and Documentaries. My parallel interests and side jobs have included teaching yoga and political organizing. Grateful to be a life-long learner, I work to strengthen my German, Spanish and Portuguese language skills and make it a priority to maintain a strong range of accents. Outside the booth, I’ve traveled to some amazing places, from Occupied Baghdad to the interior of Bahia, Brazil, where I birthed my first child at home. My second child was also born at home, in NYC. I credit my prenatal yoga teacher-training for preparing me for those empowering birth experiences. To recharge my soul, I walk in the woods, dig in the garden, visit a museum, or experiment with recipes that celebrate the delicious and nourishing powers of plants. less
