I woke up to sad news this morning, the passing of Voiceover legend Don LaFontaine. You may not have recognized him if you had passed him on the street, but had he opened his mouth, you would have been left wondering “where have I heard that voice before?”. The answer…just about everywhere.
God must have had some voice work which required only the best, so he called Don home to handle the task. We will surely miss Don and wish the best to his wife and immediate family as well as to the voiceover family that loved and learned so much from Don over the years. That’s a wrap, Don. Job well done.
Most people will recognize Don from this TV ad for Geico Insurance:
