Over the past thirty-five years, the prolific voiceover actor has portrayed more than 4,000 characters, including those on Saturday morning car- toons such as “DuckTales,” “Ghostbusters,” and “Smurfs.” “One day you’re hired to cry like a baby, the next day you’re the president,” says Fraley, MFA ’73. “One of the wonderful things is that you’re ‘I now live in the house that Krang built.’ not typecast. It’s all about what you can do with your voice.” Fraley has also worked on feature films, talking toys, and video games. For children of the Eighties, he is best known as the villain Krang from the cartoon “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.” “Krang sounds like Katharine Hepburn and Ernest Borgnine meeting in an alley for acid indigestion,” Fraley says. “We did 200 of those shows. I now live in the house that Krang built.” He has recorded more than a dozen audio books, including The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, for which he provided the voices of about a hundred characters in thirty-four dialects.

Outside the recording studio, Fraley teaches voiceover at the university level and has published sev- eral instructional books and CDs. Fraley earned an MFA in acting from Cornell after majoring in dramatic art at Whitman College. He then joined a theatre company in Australia, where he discovered that he was better at manipulating his voice than at perform- ing Shakespeare. Voiceover acting is challenging, Fraley says, because he must perform without visual cues and often receives prompt lines from actors thousands of miles away. The field is fast-paced; Fraley’s agent sometimes sends him a script just hours before he is due at the recording studio. “I get a call when I’m in the car,” Fraley says. “Whereas some people might be able to go to Kentucky and study the dialect, I’m lucky to have the time to swing by Kentucky Fried Chicken.” — Aeriel Emig ’09 March | April 2009 31.

Reminder List of Productions Eligible for Awards
REMINDER LIST OF PRODUCTIONS ELIGIBLE FOR AWARDS All films that have qualified for consideration for 2011 Academy Awards in the non-specialized categories are listed alphabetically by title. Voters making selections in their own branch categories list only film titles on their ballots, not the individuals responsible for the various achievements. For that reason, as well as for reasons of printing time and convenience of using this pamphlet, full credit rosters are not provided for the listed films. An exception to the above exists in the four Acting categories, where simply listing titles would not provide enough voting information. Actors Branch members filling out their Nominations ballots must indicate both titles and the particular performers they are voting for. For that reason, the Reminder List provides a listing of up to fifty cast members for each film. Pictures eligible in the Animated Feature Film, Documentary Feature and Foreign Language Film categories are also eligible in the Best Picture category, provided they meet the qualifications for the category. Foreign Language films are eligible for awards in other categories provided they meet the requirements of Awards Rules Two and Three. Notes: A ABDUCTION Taylor Lautner. Lily Collins. Alfred Molina.
