A slight obsession of mine is the many voices of film – you know, the trailer guys.
I guess you either love them or hate them. I’m firmly in the former camp. What an awesome job – turning up at a studio (if not from your own home) to record a trailer that will make millions head to the cinema hoping to see that ‘One Man‘, that ‘Academy Award Winner‘ do their stuff ‘In a World‘ (you get the drill)…
Sad to hear that Don LaFontaine – the most prolific voiceover artist, died last year (Sept 2008). What a legend – he’s made some of the best trailers and goes down in history as the trailer king.
I’ve found some great YouTube vids that you’ll like – first one is a trailer from Seinfield’s
‘Comedian’ featuring Hal Douglas
The second one gathers them all together in a limo (of course). Including the late Don LaFontaine, my favourite one here is the Jurassic Park guy Nick Tate, plus Disney’s Mark Elliot brings back millions of memories…great stuff
