Pat Fraley posts some very sad news on the VO-BB
My friend, mentor and teacher Pat Fraley posted some deeply sad news on the VO-BB this evening. If you believe in prayer, as I do, I hope you will pray for Pat, Renee and their boys during what will certainly be some difficult days ahead.

From time to time, and with his permission, I’ve been re-publishing a series of columns from Bob Fraser for actors … concentrating on those that are of most value to those of us who are focused on voice acting.
