VO Tips

It feels really good to be back to writing. I cannot tell all of you how much I’ve missed writing posts on this blog. Now, I’ve got plenty of time on my hands, time to get to work.

Friends,

It greatly saddens me to hear of the passing of the greatest master of the art of voice over the world has ever seen: Don LaFontaine.

Everyone knows his voice, it’s been heard on almost half of the movie trailers broadcast in the past decade. If you’ve watched Fox (the Simpsons, 24, House, or any of their shows) he was the voice of their commercials. In my mind and in the minds of many others, he was truly the greatest voice the world has ever heard.

A true master in every since of the word, the world that is voice over would not be what it is without his great contributions to the art.

Everyone will miss you Don. Thank you for your artistry and your contributions to the world of voice-over. You will live on as a true legend in my mind and in the minds of all other voice over artists the world over. Rest in peace.
