I can’t say for certain, but it sounds like the same guy does the voice-overs for most of the movie trailers out there.
Does anyone know who this guy is?
I don’t know who he is only that he sounds increasingly like a parody. Why is he so ubiquitous? Doesn’t he ever take holidays? He’s beginning to make Leslie Nielson seem like a straight man.
I saw a (TLC, Discovery Channel, 60 minutes, something like that) on him a couple years ago. I think his name is John LaFontaine, and don’t ask me why I remember that. Yes, in a lot of cases it’s the same guy all the time. Must be a great job!
I love the internet! This website, Voice Hunter, will match the voice-over actors to their trailers with audio samples. Today’s top movie-trailer voice-over talents are: Don LaFontaine, Peter Cullen, Bill Ratner, Chuck Riley, and Hal Douglas.
Don LaFontaine is the one most people recognize.
I think I saw a documentary on Don LaFontaine once and they mentioned his voice is insured for some multi-million dollar amount…
