Default Voice of God has died...

Just wanted to pay homage to a Hollywood legend. Don La Fontaine known as "The Voice of God" has passed away today. He will be missed.

Being interested in voiceovers and having done a few non-union ones myself, I've been a big fan of Don La Fontaine ever since I can remember (20 plus years).

Every single one of you have heard him, if you've ever seen a movie in the theaters, but in case you can't put a face to the voice, click this link to see/hear.

R.I.P.

Wow, movie trailers will never be the same. That guy did practically all of them!

This video is pretty hilarious...Don Lafontaine on Good Morning America:

I cannot believe it! The voice of the 80's, as I call him, was a true legend

Any Pablo Francisco fans out there? He did a great impression of Don.
