IF THESE LIPS COULD TALK

Actor Alex Hyde-White deftly handles the narration of this heartfelt and candid assessment of the entertainment industry from Emmy-winning producer Frank Pace. Network television production has its own set of challenging rules, which are well explored. Pace has enjoyed a wide array of clients and projects, along with personal interests that include coaching a high school soccer team. Longtime cowriter Billy O'Connor has also led an eclectic life. Employing a largely newscaster-style, Hyde-White is attentive, clear, confident, and yet subtle in delivering stories that capture a roller coaster of emotions. They feature big successes and failures, many of which the listener will likely know. In particular, there is a significant exploration of the Pace-produced relatively short-lived revival of "Murphy Brown." W.A.G. © AudioFile 2021, Portland, Maine [Published: JANUARY 2021]
