Voiceover Culture
The other night I was sharing some VO trivia with a friend of mine, and realized that so many people don’t really know what VOs do. There are so many funny pieces out there that illustrate our world, and I thought we should have them in one place for easy reference. And what better place than my blog? So, I’m going to post the ones I know about, and other VOs out there, if I’ve missed any post it here.
Here’s one of my favorites, Five Guys In A Limo. And this is a classic-Hal Douglas (one of the great names in VO) doing the trailer for The Comedians. More classics, Blooper’s Soap, and out-takes of Orson Wells in a VO session. Here’s a great one if you have some time, the entire cast of the Simpson’s on Inside the Actor’s Studio. I’ve watched this so many times I can quote dialog. Here’s the hilarious session with William Shatner.
Here are some holiday classics. One of my favorites of all time, Santa’s Session From Hell. And this is a fun one, with famous voice actors reading The Night Before Christmas.
I know there are more out there. If you have one, post it here. And as I find more, I’ll update the blog.

Hi Kitzie -
I like to post VO vids from time to time on my blog but the “Twas the Night” was a new one on me. I loved it…thanks!

Hi James,
Yes, I don’t remember why I found that one, but I loved it too. And I love that old “Blooper’s Soap” too, it’s dated but it still plays.
What really struck me is that not many people outside VO know about these vids and when they see them they think they’re hilarious. I hope some people not from the VO world will watch and comment.
Thanks for visiting!
