A Great Voice Is Silenced
It’s always a sad day when a legend dies, but even more so when most people didn’t even know his name. Don LaFontaine was “THE VOICE OF GOD” narrator of thousands of movie trailers, tv promos and commercials. We all knew his voice and finally saw him in a rare on camera spot for Geico Insurance.
As an audio engineer in the video post-production world I knew who Mr. Fontaine was and loved his work. Honestly, I dreamed of recording him one day. He had a unique style and delivery and could make our imaginations run wild with a few short words. Who knows…maybe God will contract Don to do his voiceover work!
