These are two fun TV spots for Rolaids.nbsp; I was the announcer voiceover and I posted them because of the way the sauces explode on the screen.nbsp; OK, truth be told, I just love watching things blow up.nbsp; I hope you too can take pleasure in watching a hotdog explode.nbsp; A possible metaphor for your bank!

This is a really nice remembrance of the famous voiceover Don LaFontaine added to the end of a recent episode of KCRW's "The Business" dated September 22nd, 2008.nbsp; It touches on his history as a writer and producer before he became a voice talent.nbsp; Also, Steve Tischerman, Don's longtime agent from TGMD Talent Agency, is interviewed and it's fun to hear him speak of getting Don started in the business of voice over and specifically how Don started voicing trailers for films. I thought the shout out at the end to Ashton Smith and Brian Cummings was generous and I'm sure it made everyone over at DPN excited since they represent both Ashton and Brian!nbsp; Enjoy.

Beer commercials usually have really funny radio #38; TV campaigns and its an opportunity for voiceover talent to stretch your muscles and do something a little bit more over the top. I thought this spot, called "R #38; D" for research and development, was a clever concept delivering mundane facts within a humorous situation. Speed, clarity, and timing (Chuck!) were key to making this voiceover work. Also, Chuck (sorry Chuck for not getting your last name at the session) was the PERFECT Brewmaster. The funny thing is that Chuck really sounds like that in person. Some people are just given a great set of pipes and others, like me, sound like a teenager in prep school.
