Umbilical Brothers

Yo, y'all! When it came to voice acting it doesn't just limit to commercials and animations, sometimes you can use it in sound effects for everyday activities. I put a link to my favorite comedy duo that led me to be an entertainer. Also a video of myself to say I did one.

Deepen your voice, is that a choice

I found an advertisement for a throat spray that helps you deepen your voice. That's interesting, but kind of sketchy. I wonder how many kinds of Vicks products they had to melt together to come up with this product. I think it has a placebo effect. I notice when I try to talk in any kind of voice, it takes me at least a week to conform to a certain type of voice I'm mimicking. This product I think just let's the person want to talk in a low voice which eventually becomes the person's default voice. What do y'all think?

The Don is Gone!

I was recently looking at the news and found that Don LaFontaine died last Monday of 68 at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. The "Don" as some call him was the announcer who popularised the phrase, "In a world" for movie trailers. It's sad that such a cool guy will not be making any more trailers. He was my inspiration to become a voice actor and I hope to be a success much like him.

Favorite Cartoon Voice

I consider Mel Blanc the greatest voice actor.  His wide variety of voice ranges from squeaky mice to grunting gangsters.  The crazy, over exaggerated characters are my specialty, so I'm more drawn to those kind.
