Just wanted to add some props here in remembrance of The Voice.

As a student at Villanova in the early 2000s I contacted (I still have the emails!) VO megastars like Brian James, Hal Douglas, and Mark Driscoll — all three of whom have now died — asking/begging for a discount on imaging for my college show. Really, I just wanted it to sound like John Garabedian’s syndicated Open House Party.

So when I got an email back from Mark — OHP’s voice — saying he’d be happy to do me a favor, well… I was over the moon. He cut several pages of VOs for me and had his producer Brandon make them sound like a million more bucks (hear some here). It was an act of kindness that changed my life — plunging me headfirst into radio (where I'm still treading water). I’ll never forget it. Thanks, Mark, out there where the reception never fades…
 
I had asked him to do VO work for an internet show I was doing in 2007, and he actually emailed me back! Never took it any further mainly because I stopped the show.
