At the age of 9 Franklin DeWar's voice changed and so did his life. Back then that meant singing in the bass section in church choir & dubbing a few training videos for a company he works at today. He continued expanding his voice in high school when he started singing with the may festival chorus, now known as the barbershop harmony society. While pursuing a degree in political science at Morehead State University, Franklin immersed himself in the music and communications Departments. Classically trained at Morehead State University by Dr. Greg Detweiler, Dr. Ricky Little he developed his appreciation for classical vocal technique. During college, Franklin started a barbershop quartet that performed throughout Ohio, Kentucky, and West Virginia. The only paid professional college quartet in the area at that time: The Golden Nights went on to win the Collegiate District Finals and represent the tri-state internationally in 2004. Dropping a line here and there at WMSU public radio made Franklin start to think about what he wanted to do when he graduated. He knew as soon as he graduated that he wanted to pursue voiceover work. While at college he reached out to some of the top voiceover artists in LA. With their help Frank built a studio in his home in 2008. Frank's Voice can be heard at many live events around the tri-state area. He offers Radio and Sound imaging from his studio and offers Voice Over Coaching through Big Island Voiceover.
