[1]Don LaFontaine...
Don LaFontaine, whose name you likey don’t know, but whose voice you can’t help but recognize, has died, says Wired: [2]
Don LaFontaine, the man whose resonant voice read the trailers of thousands of movies over the past three decades, died Monday in Los Angeles. He was 68.
LaFontaine, who did voiceover work in more than 5,000 trailers during his 33-year career, turned the “In a world where …” opening line into an industry standard for studios promoting movies and TV shows.
I can recall years ago in my radio days, laughingly calling Don ET… as in, the ‘Extra testicle” and wishing, as I suspect many radio and TV types have always done, I had that vocal ability.
