Voice Talents Peter K. O'Connell, Lisa Biggs & Diane Merritt
As people tell me all the time “you spend a lot of time in airports”.
That’s true but one of the benefits (besides making money on these trips) is the opportunity to visit with voice over friends old and new in the cities I travel to.
Some cities, like Sioux Falls, SD and Des Moines, IA have, like, no voice talents living there (or they’re hiding from me, which is understandable).
So either Diane Merritt and Lisa Biggs are lousy hiders or they didn’t have caller ID on their phones because we got to hang out together on my trip to beautiful Greenville, SC.
Diane (whose voice you may hear on a Colgate commercial airing across the country on CNBC among other channels) is originally from Buffalo, NY but ran screaming….’er, moved down south and lives in Greenville with her family. Her studio is wonderful, fully matching her voice over talent.
Lisa whose amazingly youthful and profitable voice recently was requested to be auditioned for a developing Snow White project (thinking good thoughts for the outcome there), came to Greenville from L.A. (she still occasionally commutes, doing VO work out there as well as in Greenville). She’s getting married soon to the very dreamy Robert (actually, I’ve never met Robert, so I cannot attest to his dreaminess).
Anyway, they were both very gracious to spend their lunch time with me and I am very appreciative for their friendship. Thank you both.
I’m a little late catching up to emails but I see now that Marice Tobias is doing a workshop in Toronto on April 30th and May 1st 2011.
This one is on Commercial, Narration, and Promo…not sure what studio but there are plenty of nice ones in TO.
I think this is similar to the one I took in Atlanta a few years ago. If you have a chance to go to Marice’s seminar, you will not regret it.

Voice Talents Lee Gordon, Peter K. O'Connell and Doug Turkel
So you may have heard the news (which I wrote, egotastically) that I was fortunate enough to earn a second year as the voice of SunSetter’s national TV campaign.
What you might not have known is that I share the moniker of SunSetter VO Talent with some terrific voices and, fortunately for me, good friends.
Both Lee Gordon and Doug Turkel have also served as voice talents for SunSetter Awnings and done spectacular jobs for the client. The above picture came from Faffcon 2 in Atlanta.
I am always proud to be in their company professionally and personally.
From the Tobias Entertainment Group blog comes this very thoughtful story that I hope you’ll take a moment to read.
If you have never before been exposed to the vocal versatility of Mr. Warm and Friendly Voice himself, Rowell Gormon, enjoy this brief piece of voice over brilliance – written by the man himself.
Uh, yup, those voice are ALL him.
If the folks at AFLAC, or any other advertising agency or video production house were smart, they’d just call Rowell to get the job done right, the first time.
