XERUS’S VOICE ARTIST FOCUS:

Today’s V/A focus is the late Frank Nelson, an old time actor who had a famous familiar voice on radio, movies, and TV. He performed on shows like Jack Benny and I Love Lucy where he had this familiar catchphrase, "YEEEESSSS?" Frank’s voice was great for voicing cartoon characters and performed in a lot of cartoons until his death in 1986.
