Fran Tunno, Voice Over

Audiobooks

Audiobooks are a very special labor of love for Fran. They give her a chance to do all the things she loves; acting, reading, creating different personalities and voices for characters and getting paid for it. She spent many years preparing for audiobooks by reading to her kids from the time they were infants and volunteering to read in their classrooms, until they decided they were far too mature for that sort of thing. Fran just finished work on a new audiobook called, "Veronika Decides to Die", written by Paulo Coelho and produced by Deyan Audio Services. Reviews of some of Fran's audiobooks are listed below.

...I couldn’t have dreamed of a better voice for Maz. Your talent and sensitivity and humor really come through and I appreciate the work you’ve done to make this book really *sing.* Thank you so much!”

Reviews

WHAT COMES AFTER CRAZY
Sandi Kahn Shelton

Raised by a sex-crazed psychic mother who tells fortunes, Maz yearns for normalcy when she marries. When Maz's husband runs off after an affair and daughters Hope and Abbey join forces to bring him back, this comedy on the breakup of a marriage takes off. Fran Tunno's clear, even delivery, in the hushed tones of sharing a secret with a friend, identifies each character through nuances, accents, and character shading. Her portrayal of 10-year-old Hope is deliciously on target as whiny and bratty. Blatant sexual scenes, sometimes coarse, are filled with innuendo and tension. Tunno provides exceptional narration to quirky characters and a laugh-out-loud story.

NOBODY KNOWS
Mary Jane Clark

Fran Tunno shines as a woman horrified by the results of her actions in this taut, absorbing story. Newswoman Cassie Sheridan gets an exclusive when she reveals on-air that the daughter of the FBI's director has been attacked by a serial rapist. When the girl subsequently commits suicide, Cassie finds herself exiled to Florida. The plot heats up quickly when, in addition to the impending hurricane, another victim turns up, putting Cassie directly in the path of the killer. An abundance of red herrings keeps the plot moving briskly while narrator Tunno proves adept at voicing the victims, villains, and Cassie's attempts to separate the two.
