King of the Movie Trailers VOg (Voice of god) The King
AFTRA President Roberta Reardon Remembers Don LaFontaine "Don LaFontaine, 'King of Voiceovers,' passed away on September 1 at the age of 68. A longtime AFTRA member, he was a brilliant artist and the voice of ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox, UPN, TNT, TBS, and the Cartoon Network. For many years, Don was the in-show announcer for the Academy Awards, and his unmistakable voice has been heard in thousands of radio spots, TV commercials, and Hollywood movie trailers. He will be fondly remembered by all of us who understand and appreciate that performers behind-the-camera give life and color to the stories onscreen. He was both busy and prolific during his 25-year career, but he always had time and a kind word for his fellow union members, and was always a staunch supporter of his union. He will never be forgotten. Our thoughts and prayers are with Don's family and friends."
Los Angeles, Sept. 2, 2008 — Screen Actors Guild today released the following statement from President Alan Rosenberg on the passing of Don LaFontaine:
"Don was a phenomenal actor and a prodigious and amazing voice talent who could, like the best voice artists, make any material uniquely his own. His contributions on and off "mic" enriched the profession and Screen Actors Guild. He will be greatly missed by all of us. Our thoughts go out to his loved ones at this difficult time."
Alan Rosenberg President, Screen Actors Guild
LaFontaine was a 26-year member of Screen Actors Guild and is perhaps best known for the quality and sheer volume of his voice work. Throughout his career, LaFontaine recorded hundreds of thousands of voiceovers and became known as the "movie" voice through his work on feature film trailers.

A message to all members of voiceover universe presents... The email below was sent was to Voiceover Universe from Paul Pape, Don's best friend and brother. Rick
It is very hard to write these words. My friend, Don LaFontaine, the husband of a most beautiful wife, Nita and the father of three beautiful girls, passed away today at the age of 68. In a quite sudden reversal of the progress he had been making the last few days, Don took ill again and passed away at around 1:50PM this afternoon (9/1/08). Out of respect for Don's family, more details will be given at a later time. Nita is a wonderful mother and she is being very strong for her children at this moment. You would be proud of her. We need to give her and her family some time to absorb their loss. As for me, thank you very much. There have been so many spiritual warriors who have given everything they have for my best friend. I will miss him very much. More details to follow... Paul Pape
Appreciation
In a World of Don LaFontaine, A Reel-Life Figure of Speech
In a world where the trailers are almost always better than the movies . . .
In a world where everything sounds pompous, intense, serious, heart-stopping, but narrated. . .
In a world of people who all have some sort of private omniscient voice-over running things inside their heads, sometimes God, sometimes Mom, and sometimes Don LaFontaine . . .
In a world where marketing is far more important than content . . . came one man . . . with a Voice.
In a world that had outgrown the voices of dictators and newsreels and Walter Cronkite . . .
In a world Don LaFontaine never made, but understood . . .
In a world where the most compelling parts of politics and sports and wars aren't the speeches anymore but the movies, the clip montage . . .
In a world that believed deeply in the potency of the words Coming Soon. . .
In a world that moved so fast it got ahead of the Voice, and so a lot of movie trailers don't have voice-overs anymore, not his Voice (or worse, they mock the idea of the Voice by mimicking the Voice.) . . .
In a world where editing is all . . . In a world of jolts (Monster in the bathroom mirror! Horrible screech! Quick cut!) . . .
In a world where the font choice is more important than the Voice, because every moviegoer now has the Voice implanted in his or her head, like standard software, so when we read the type, we read it to ourselves in Don LaFontaine's Voice . . .
In a world where eyewitnesses describe real things, real events as being "like, in a movie" . . .
In a world where Don LaFontaine could become famous for voicing 5,000 movie trailers and countless other things we heard on television, where he could show up at the Oscars and be known, where he could pop up in car insurance commercials . . . in a world where people looked nothing like they sounded, especially Don LaFontaine . . .
In a world suddenly without Don LaFontaine, who died Monday at 68 at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, of lung failure, brought on by undetermined causes . . . (Cedars-Sinai being a world where the famous newly dead go on to other coming attractions).
In a world, in a world.
In a world where we'll be talking like him forever, to one another, for dramatic effect . . .

1) NUDITY I was driving with my three young children one warm summer evening when a woman in the convertible ahead of us stood up and waved. She was stark naked! As I was reeling from the shock, I heard my 5-year-old shout from the back seat, 'Mom, that lady isn't wearing a seat belt!'
2) OPINIONS On the first day of school, a first-grader handed his teacher a note from his mother. The note read, 'The opinions expressed by this child are not necessarily those of his parents.'
3) KETCHUP A woman was trying hard to get the ketchup out of the jar. During her struggle the phone rang so she asked her 4-year-old daughter to answer the phone. 'Mommy can't come to the phone to talk to you right now. She's hitting the bottle.'
4) MORE NUDITY A little boy got lost at the YMCA and found himself in the women's locker room. When he was spotted, the room burst into shrieks, with ladies grabbing towels and running for cover. The little boy watched in amazement and then asked, 'What's the matter, haven't you ever seen a little boy before?'
5) POLICE 1 While taking a routine vandalism report at an elementary school, I was interrupted by a little girl about 6 years old. Looking up and down at my uniform, she asked, 'Are you a cop? Yes,' I answered and continued writing the report. My mother said if I ever needed help I should ask the police. Is that right?' 'Yes, that's right,' I told her. 'Well, then,' she said as she extended her foot toward me, 'would you please tie my shoe?'
6) POLICE 2 It was the end of the day when I parked my police van in front of the station. As I gathered my equipment, my K-9 partner, Jake, was barking, and I saw a little boy staring in at me. 'Is that a dog you got back there?' he asked. 'It sure is,' I replied. Puzzled, the boy looked at me and then towards the back of the van. Finally he said, 'What'd he do?'
7) ELDERLY While working for an organization that delivers lunches to elderly shut-ins, I used to take my 4-year-old daughter on my afternoon rounds. She was unfailingly intrigued by the various appliances of old age, particularly the canes, walkers and wheelchairs. One day I found her staring at a pair of false teeth soaking in a glass. As I braced myself for the inevitable barrage of questions, she merely turned and whispered, 'The tooth fairy will never believe this!'
8) DRESS-UP A little girl was watching her parents dress for a party. When she saw her dad donning his tuxedo, she warned, 'Daddy, you shouldn't wear that suit.' 'And why not, darling?' 'You know that it always gives you a headache the next morning.'
9) DEATH While walking along the sidewalk in front of his church, our minister heard the intoning of a prayer that nearly made his collar wilt. Apparently, his 5-year-old son and his playmates had found a dead robin. Feeling that proper burial should be performed, they had secured a small box and cotton batting, then dug a hole and made ready for the disposal of the deceased. The minister's son was chosen to say the appropriate prayers and with sonorous dignity intoned his version of what he thought his father always said: 'Glory be unto the Father, and unto the Son, and into the hole he goes.' (I want this line used at my funeral!)
10) SCHOOL A little girl had just finished her first week of school. 'I'm just wasting my time,' she said to her mother. 'I can't read, I can't write, and they won't let me talk!'
11) BIBLE A little boy opened the big family Bible. He was fascinated as he fingered through the old pages. Suddenly, something fell out of the Bible. He picked up the object and looked at it. What he saw was an old leaf that had been pressed in between the pages. 'Mama, look what I found,' the boy called out. 'What have you got there, dear?' With astonishment in the young boy's voice, he answered, 'I think it's Adam's underwear!'
NOW IF THIS DIDN'T BRIGHTEN YOUR DAY, GO BACK TO BED AND FORGET IT!
Q: Where can men over the age of 60 find younger, sexy women who are interested in them? A: Try a bookstore-------under fiction.
Q: What can a man do while his wife is going through menopause? A: Keep busy. If you're handy with tools, you can finish the basement. When you are done you will have a place to live.
Q: Someone has told me that menopause is mentioned in the Bible. Is that true? Where can it be found? A: Yes. Matthew 14:92: 'And Mary rode Joseph's ass all the way to Egypt.'
Q: How can you increase the heart rate of your 60+ year old husband? A: Tell him you're pregnant.
Q: How can you avoid that terrible curse of the elderly-----wrinkles? A: Take off your glasses.
Q: Seriously! What can I do for these crow's feet and all those wrinkles on my face? A: Go braless. It will usually pull them out.
Q: Why should 60 + year old people use valet parking? A: Valets don't forget where they park your car.

Q: Where should 60+ year olds look for eye glasses? A: On their foreheads.
Q: What is the most common remark made by 60+ year olds when they enter antique stores? A: 'Gosh, I remember these.
?HOW? WE CAN GET GAS BACK DOWN TO $1.30 PER? GALLON?
This was sent by a? retired Coca Cola executive.? It came from one of his engineer buddies who? retired from Halliburton.? If you are tired of the gas prices going up AND they? will continue to rise this summer, take time to read this please.
Phillip? Hollsworth offered this good idea.? This makes MUCH MORE SENSE than the 'don't? buy gas on a certain day'? campaign that was going around last April or May!? It's worth your consideration.? Join the resistance!!!!
I hear we are? going to hit close to $ 4.00 a gallon by this summer and it might go higher!!?? Want gasoline prices to come down?
We need to take some intelligent,? united action. The oil companies just laughed at that because they knew we? wouldn't continue to 'hurt' ourselves by refusing to buy gas .
It was? more of an inconvenience to us than it was a problem for them BUT, whoever? thought of this idea, has come up with a plan that can REALLY work.? Please read? on and join with us!
By now you're probably thinking gasoline priced at? about $2.00 is super cheap.? Me too!? It is currently $3.89 for regular unleaded? in my town, Seattle. Now that the oil companies and the OPEC nations have? conditioned us to think that the cost of a gallon of gas is CHEAP at $2.50 -? $2.75, we need to take aggressive action to teach them that BUYERS control the? marketplace..not sellers.
With the price of gasoline going up more each? day, we consumers need to take action.
The only way we are going to see? the price of gas come down is if we hit someone in the pocketbook by not? purchasing their gas!? And, we can do that WITHOUT hurting? ourselves.
How?? Since we all rely on our cars, we can't just stop buying? gas. But we CAN have an impact on gas prices if we all act together to force a? price war.
Here's? the idea: For the rest of this year, DON'T purchase ANY gasoline from the two? biggest companies (which now are one), EXXON and? MOBIL.
If they are not? selling any gas, they will be inclined to reduce their prices.?? If they reduce? their prices, the other companies will have to follow suit. But to have an? impact, we need to reach literally millions of Exxon and Mobil gas buyers.? It's? really simple to do!? Now, don't wimp out on me at this point...keep reading and? I'll explain how simple it is to reach millions of people!!
I am sending? this note to 30 people.? If each of us send it to at least ten more (30 x 10 =? 300) ...? and those 300 send it to at least ten more (300 x 10 = 3,000)... and? so on, by the time the message reaches the sixth group of people, we will have? reached over THREE MILLION consumers .
If those three million get excited? and pass this on to ten friends each, then 30 million people will have been? contacted!
If it goes one level further, you guessed it.....? THREE? HUNDRED MILLION PEOPLE!!!
Again, all you have to do is send this to 10? people.? That's all!
(If you don't understand how we can reach 300? million and all you have to do is send this to 10 people....? Well, let's face? it, you just aren't a mathematician.? But I am, so trust me on this? one.
How long would all that take?? If each of us sends this e-mail out? to ten more people within one day of receipt, all 300 MILLION people could? conceivably be contacted within the next 8 days!!!
I'll bet you didn't? think you and I had that much potential, did you?! Acting together we can make a? difference. If this makes sense to you, please pass this message on.? I suggest? that we not buy from EXXON/MOBIL UNTIL THEY LOWER THEIR PRICES TO THE $2.00? RANGE AND KEEP THEM DOWN.? THIS CAN REALLY? WORK.

One day a florist goes to a barber for a haircut. After the cut he asked about his bill and the barber replies, 'I cannot accept money from you. I'm doing community service this week.' The florist was pleased and left the shop.
When the barber goes to open his shop the next morning there is a 'thank you' card and a dozen roses waiting for him at his door.
Later, a cop comes in for a haircut, and when he tries to pay his bill, the barber again replies, 'I cannot accept money from you. I'm doing community service this week.' The cop is happy and leaves the shop.
The next morning when the barber goes to open up there is a 'thank you' card and a dozen donuts waiting for him at his door.
Later that day, a college professor comes in for a haircut, and when he tries to pay his bill, the barber again replies, 'I cannot accept money from you. I'm doing community service this week.' The professor is very happy and leaves the shop.
The next morning when the barber opens his shop, there is a 'thank you' card and a dozen different books, such as 'How to Improve Your Business' and 'Becoming More Successful.
'Then, a Congressman comes in for a haircut, and when he goes to pay his bill the barber again replies, 'I cannot accept money from you. I'm doing community service this week.' The Congressman is very happy and leaves the shop.
The next morning when the barber goes to open up, there are a dozen Congressmen lined up waiting for a free haircut.
And that, my friends, illustrates the fundamental difference between the citizens of our country and the members of our Congress.
