My Voice Experience

Frank Martin's experience comes from a lifetime in American Broadcast Radio and Television.
He has done TV News 'Openers' for KNBC in Los Angeles and a host of Commercial voices. For Technical readings, Frank also read for the Physician's Radio Network newscasts, and several live newscasts.

My Training

An A student in Speech and Drama in the 1970's, Frank learned his native dialect from a stage performing mom at a very early age, and how to speak for acting and announcing. This nascent background is well identified with the heart of America and the broadcast dialect that is familiar to North American English speakers.

My Studio Equipment

Neumann U87 microphone and Lexicon Omega USB audio interface to computer

Additional Skills

A Broadcast Engineer, Frank has the skills to understand the microphone technique and equipment necessary for the sound and effect needed for the sound you want, whether it's a commanding script read, or an environment like a cave, gym, or the outdoors to lend a vision in the mind's eye to the audio project you are recording.
