Doing voice over work and voice acting has always been one of Frank’s favorite creative outlets ever since he went to broadcasting school. When Frank first started, he would find creative ways to make a commercial, promo or voice character stand out and be noticed.


In the 1990’s Frank was doing a lot of work as a DJ for night clubs and weddings. After a while, Frank knew that the hip fast passed lifestyle of being a DJ would not stay with him for very long. So by 2000, he focused his attention on a career in radio.


By 2001 Frank James Bailey was working at 2 stations in Toledo, OH! A classic rock station 94.5 WXKR & a country station, WKKO - K100. Also at this time in his career he was producing radio imaging liners and promos using the audio editing program Cool Edit Pro. That program is now Adobe Audition.


In 2003, while Frank worked in Findlay, OH at 100.5 WKXA, he produced a lot of promos for the station, using his own voice. Frank also produced a lot of promos using the stations imaging voice too.
