Beginning his creative career as an actor, Fraser’s highlights include being named The Guardian’s “Top Performer”, Time Out Best Performer, several The Stage Best Actor nominations and starring in The Smoking Room, Midsomer Murders, and NBC’s international miniseries, Kingdom and Empire. Movies include Patrice Chereau’s Intimacy, Alex Cox’s Revengers Tragedy & Noel Clarke’s AdultHood. In his spare moments, Fraser does a lot of Yoga and plays with a lot of Lego.

    Episode 12 RUTH FRANCES.. TV presenter/host/voice - meeting 'CHER', what's it’s like?

    Send us Fan Mail Episode 12 -  We meet Ruth Francis - TV Host, interviewer and Voiceover artist!!  Biog: I have been working in television for many years now, my first presenting job was in 2001 interviewing bands and pop artists at Party in the Park. Since then, I have loved my varied and exciting work, presenting everything from beauty to cars, red carpet interviews to corporate videos. I have gained thousands of hours of live TV, pre-recorded, voiceover, training and events experience. I have been a regular on shopping TV network QVC since 2006 and I currently present a range of beauty brands here in the UK and also in Italy. In more recent years, this work has taken me to QVC US and Germany too which has been a lot of fun (and airmiles!). I no longer travel to the States but I just love being based in my home country and in Europe. I have learned to adapt my presenting style over the years to the projects I’m working on and I’m just as comfortable in a suit doing a corporate video as I am in a glamourous dress live on air or on the red carpet! You can see more details about who I’ve worked with and for here on my website and in my blog I will share some backstage and behind the scenes photos and stories as well as some ramblings about life. In 2009 I trained as a life coach specialising in wellbeing and empowerment and I absolutely loved it. This prompted me to work with clients wanting to improve on confidence, presenting, personal branding for their businesses and public speaking. I have trained hundreds of candidates in big auditoriums for beauty brands and also groups in retail stores and individuals on a one-to-one basis and I like to think that I help people to find their passion and inner performer but ultimately to feel good about themselves. Originally, I am from a small town in North Yorkshire and although I moved to London aged 20, I still feel my northern roots are strong. I love to visit my family regularly and to get out into the beautiful countryside as often as I can. My other passions are yoga and taking trips with my lovely hubby – and of course, catching up with girlfriends over a cuppa (or glass of wine) you can’t beat it!
