Herbert George Wells (1866-1946) was a British author often called "The Father of Science Fiction." Even before the 20th century began, his fiction and articles explored invisibility, interstellar travel, time travel, and genetic experimentation. His novel, The War of the Worlds was serialized in the American magazine Cosmopolitan, and later turned into a famous radio drama by Orson Wells.James Spencer has seasoned his narration and voice over skills for the past 20 years in radio, television, live performances, and multimedia. James' vocal styles range from warm and credible to funny and offbeat. He has been an award-winning actor, television reporter, and producer of video and multimedia projects. For more than a decade, he has served as the corporate voice of one of the country's largest corporations. He now fully devotes his time to building his multimedia production business, Active Voicing. Website [opens new window]
