We recently connected with FR Springer and have shared our conversation below.
Alright, FR thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. We’d love to hear about a project that you’ve worked on that’s meant a lot to you.
Voicing and live announcing The Rose Parade! I started my professional voice career with this opportunity, having worked in the Hollywood Studio PR and Television producing arena. It is a dream come true, and proof that preparation, relationships, and “being at the right place at the right time” pays off.
Using one’s voice to project to the world is a thrill, especially when it tells a story.
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
Having earned a BA in Theatre and Voice on the east coast, my trek to California being accepted at American Conservatory Theatre in San Francisco, prepared me for the challenges of Hollywood. Over the years the most important thing I’ve learned is to be ready, and prepared in your craft. I wasn’t, and chose to survive by working in the hospitality industry, which eventually led (after 10 years!) to Paramount Pictures, a position in PR that will forever be my touchstone. Perseverance, commitment, relationships, and a great work ethic…..are the keys to opening the door to being a creative, I learned all of it there.
I am so proud of my current projects for Audible. It has encompassed all of my abilities as narrator, producer, and promoter, above all PATIENCE!…and also has helped my craft in the constant pursuit of a voice career. (auditions can be the biggest void not knowing if you are even heard!)
Is there mission driving your creative journey?
My goal is to contribute, to provide a vocal performance that inspires and entertains the listener, whatever platform….and if that includes being the announcer for the Oscars, Emmys, and other Hollywood events…YES! (Do you hear me Raj Kapoor Productions!!? @rajkapoorproductions
For you, what’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative?
For me….being “The Next Signature Voice.” Inspiring people. I’m rewarded every time, especially recording, that there is only one FR Springer, and you have to hear what this guy can do!
