Frank's Acting &
Narrating Career
Narrating Career
"(When Frank reads) the blind will see, the lame will walk, and the
deaf will hear." - Stephen King
"He is the best. A prince of language". - Pat Conroy
"The most outstanding interpreter of audio in the United States is
still Frank Muller". - The Wilson Library Bulletin
"the first true superstar reader in the world of spoken word audio".
- Library Journal
"(he is) the best reader I have ever heard". - The Los Angeles Times
"Master narrator Frank Muller is a perfect interpreter, the medium
through which an author's words resonate to the listener. His voice
is distinct, yet it yields a thousand characters. He can be
transparent, offering the very essence of a character baring his soul
or his teeth, or speaking elegantly as he spins out a descriptive
passage. He makes the listener believe the characters no matter how
wacky and makes classic characters live and breathe for a
contemporary audience". - Audio File Magazine
"Nobody can set you trolling the depths of the soul like Frank
Muller can..... A veteran actor, and the darkly superb voice of some
of Recorded Books' most challenging works... He has a voice and
delivery that speak of distant, if darker places where life somehow
takes on a greater significance..." - The Philadelphia Enquirer
"A man who can successfully recreate both Captain Ahab and
George Smiley is some kind of genius." - The New York Times Book
Review
"Deftly segueing from Shakespeare to Stephen King, from Melville
to John LeCarre, Muller has established himself as one of the more
ubiquitous and persuasive voices on taped books, the Laurence
Olivier of the medium" - The Chicago Tribune

Franks voice has been heard by multitudes of listeners! Claudia Howard, an Executive Producer at Recorded Books (seen at left with Frank & Erika) estimates that for each of the titles Frank has recorded there are at least 5,000 copies in existence in public libraries today. Frank has recorded over 200 books for over 100 authors, so that suggests there are 1,000,000 copies in existence! Libraries report that popular audio books circulate 10 to 15 times annually, so each of Frank's performances could be reaching between 50,000 to 75,000 new listeners every year. Multiplying that estimate times the number of copies would conservatively suggest that 10,000,000 readers are reached each year. If you then multiply that by the number of years each author's audio books have been in existence, you begin to get an inkling of the incredible number of individuals who have experienced literary works through Frank's skills as a storyteller. |
